Q: 5. My Tank Is Squeaking?
Squeak or Rattle After Fitment Of Long Ranger Fuel Tank
A:
Sometimes people fit things to the floor of the vehicle using long bolts or tek screws which may result in the tank ending up with a hole worn through, also taking rear seats out and putting the bolts back into the hole will result in a longer bolt protruding through. Depending on the location this can cause a problem with the installation of the tank.
Q: 1. Tank Doesn't Fit?
Tank doesn't fit
A:
Check you have the correct model Long Ranger tank for your vehicle. Most people think a fuel tank is a multifit product, but there are many aspects which determine our desgn and model fitment. This like Petrol/Diesel, Auto/Manual, Dual Cab/ Single Cab can all impact on the selection process. When ordering your new Long Ranger Fuel Tank provide the sales staff with all the relevant details of your vehicle to avoid any inconvenience when fitting.
Q: 6. How Will My Fuel Gauge Work?
How Will My Fuel Gauge Work?
A:
Generally we set the gauge up so it is accurate when it nears empty. In most cases the gauge will stay on FULL for a longer period than the standard tank. Due to limited space available we can not extend float arms without fouling on internal baffling.
Q: 4. I Have A Fuel Smell After Fitment Of Long Ranger Fuel Tank
I Have A Fuel Smell After Fitment Of Long Ranger Fuel Tank
A:
Occasionally during the fitting process a clamp or fitting can be missed on the top of the tank. Check the installation for correct fitment.
Q: 2. My Tank Is Hitting Muffler?
Tank hits muffler
A:
Has the vehicle been fitted with a non standard muffler or exhaust system which is preventing The Long Ranger Fuel Tank from fitting as it was designed.

Q: TA37S - Hilux Fitment
Although we don't sell this tank for fitment to this vehicle we have had the odd customer who has done a custom install. To make it fit there will be small changes required from our instructions, but the following are the two main considerations: 1/ A new cross member at the front needs to be made for tank mounting. The coil sprung 4runner has an extra crossmember wich we use. 2/ The filler T peice is the wrong diameter as the 4runner has 41mm hose, were as the hilux has 50mm.

Q: TA64D - JK SWB 2 Door Models
JK SWB 2 door models Will there be a tank avialable for this model
A:
At this stage there are no plans to develop a tank for this model. Jeep have changed the location of the exhaust and mufflers compared to the TJ which has left very lttle room to accomodate a tank of decent capacity.
Q: TA64D - OEM Trip Computer
How will the new tank affect the trip computer?
A:
The trip computer will continue to work as normal for the OEM tank and the distance to empty (DTE) will reflect the level of fuel in the main tank. As fuel is being transferred from the Auxiliary to the main, the distance to empty will actually increase to reflect the new level of fuel in the main tank.
Q: TA64P - JK SWB 2 Door Models

No
A:

Q: TA70 - Blown fuse
Blown fuse
A:
If fuse has blown check wiring has not been pinched during installation
Q: TA70 - Slow Fuel Gauge
Why does the fuel gauge take so long to move when checking fuel level in Aux Tank?
A:
The Pajero gauge has been dampened to avoid erratic movement with fuel sloshing around. This results in a very slow needle movement and may take 15 minutes or so to move after changing tanks whist still driving. If you change tanks and then turn the ignition off and back on again it will give a faster reading, this should not be done while driving.

Q: TR27 - Tank fitment into leaf sprung cab chassis
Can this tank fit into a Leaf spring vehicle with the main tank behind the rear axle (like a wagon).

Q: TR35 - Tanks Interchange Ability TR35D/FI, TR43D/FI
We often get asked are these Long Ranger Fuel Tanks interchangeable with other Rodeo models
A:
For the most part the answer is NO. The only exceptions to this are with models between 1988 and 2003. An early model D/Cab long range fuel tank will fit into a later model (up to 2003) and visa versa, providing the original front tank mount is removed from the chassis.

Q: TR51 - Tow Bar not compatible
Tow Bar not compatible
A:
Land cruiser’s which have a towbar mounted to the spare wheel cross member are not compatible with a long ranger tank.
Q: TR51 - Empty Fuel Gauge
I can drive for a long time when the gauge is near empty and still not run out of fuel.
A:
Because the new tank is approximately 4 times bigger than the original, the capacity when the warning light comes on is also considerably larger. EG: On the std tank when the light comes on there would be approx 12 lt & 35mm depth of fuel. In the longranger fuel tank. this same 35mm of fuel would represent approx 30lt. As you can see by this
diagram the float is setup to be almost touching the bottom of the tank during the installation, although it is a little higher than the actual bottom due to the shape for improved departure angle. With this new length, the float will travel from the top of the tank to the bottom. It is possible to shorten the float a bit more than our recommended length and have a better reading on empty by bending the arm down a little more, but this means the tank will register full for a considerable amount of traveling before moving.
Q: TR51 - Tank appears to be 140 Litre instead of 180 Litre
The Long Ranger Fuel Tank appears to be 140 Litre instead of 180 Litre
A:
When removing the original tank, the fast fill breather from the sub tank is required to be trimmed to a length of 210mm, if this has not been done there could be a large air pocket in the top of the new Longranger Fuel Tank.
Q: TR52 - Empty Fuel Gauge

Q: TR53 - Will my tank fit into the new 4wd Mazda BT or 4x4 Ford Ranger.
Will my existing long range tank fit into the new 4wd Mazda BT or 4x4 Ford Ranger.
A:
The tank will not fit without modification, we have introduced a new tank, Part number TR53R for the 4x4 Mazda BT or 4wd Ford Ranger which are designed to fit straight in without modification. However if you are a bit handy and want to save a few dollars, Two things need to be done to make it fit. 1) Remove or modify one of the hanger brackets on the muffler. 2) The leaf springs are longer on the new model vehicles, which means a new divet on the side of the longranger fuel tank will need to be put in place to line up with the front spring bolt.

Q: TR55 - 2007 Model Fitment
At this stage it can not be confirmed. The factory tank and pickup unit do have a different part number compared to the old model, but they do look the same. So until we can get one in our workshop to verify any changes.
A:
Does the TR55 Landrover Defender long range fuel tank fit in the new 2007 model (new diesel engine).
Q: TR55 - Noisy Fuel Pump
After fitment of The Long Ranger fuel tank to a Diesel Defender, the fuel pump makes an unusual noise.
A:
This noise will slowly disappear over a few hundred Klms. We are unsure why this happens, but there has also been a case of a fuel tank being installed and operated for a couple of years in a vehicle and the simple replacement of the battery caused the same symptoms.
Q: TR56 - Fuel warning light comes on early
Fuel warning light comes on early
A:
The float may have been accidentally bent during installation and will be reading empty with a lot of fuel still in tank
Q: TR56 - Noisy Fuel Pump

Q: TR59 - 5" Spring Lift
Will this tank fit with a 5inch spring lift?
A:
To date we have had customers report that the TR59 Nissan GU long range fuel tank will fit with 5 inch spring lift using both King springs & Mega lift. Their vehicles have been fitted with rear bars, draw unit and the TR45 main replacement fuel tank.
Q: TR59 - Check light on dash stays on
Check light on dash stays on
A:
After fitment of sub tank a check light comes on the dash, the vehicle was most likely started whilst the tank was removed. The error code will need to be cleared. This can be done by a Nissan dealer or by - removing the sub tank fuse. This can be found up in behind the cigarette lighter, after removing the centre console and removing an electrical module you will find the fuse - We have also had reports of people disconnecting their battery for a minimum of 15 seconds has also found to be successful
Q: TR59 - Can't use all the fuel
Why can I only use about 50lt of fuel in the tank when I should be able to use 70lt?
A:
During the installation the pickup and the sender unit float needs to be lengthened for the new tank. If either of these isn’t done correctly the full capacity of the tank will not be utilised. A common problem is for the float to be to far from the bottom. As a result when the gauge for the sub tank reads empty the pump is automatically switched off, this leaves additional fuel in the bottom of the tank.
Q: TR60 - Does Tank Fit New RA7 Model
Tank Fitment
A:
Yes Tank Does Fit New RA7 Rodeo
Q: TR60 - Tank wont fit
Tank Doesn't Fit
A:
TR60D / TR60FI - You are most likely using a two post hoist and the axle has dropped down and forward. Either jack the rear wheels up or use a 4 post hoist.
Q: TR60 - 2WD & 4WD Models
Will The Tank Fit 2WD & 4WD Models?
A:
Although the 2WD V6 is based on a 4WD chassis it only has 5 leaves in the spring pack as opposed to the 7 leaves in the 4WD model. This can result in the tailshaft hitting the tank when overloading occurs. We are in the process of developing Part# TR60FIA for the 2WD V6 model, which is a little smaller in capacity, as it has 20mm more ground clearance and more tailshaft clearance. This tank would also be suitable for a 4WD V6 owner who wants a little more ground clearance for more rugged offroad use
Q: TR60 - Holden Rodeo 2007 RA (3 litre common rail) model runs out of fuel with plenty left in tank.
why does the vehicle run out of fuel with the gauge still reading a 1/4 after fitment of longrange tank
A:
the 2007 RA model has two fuel pumps and it is possible to connect the pickup and return lines around the wrong way and the vehicle still drive OK. This actually means the vehicle is only running on the main pump up near the engine and not utilising the in tank primer pump. So when the fuel level reaches about 1/4 of a tank (70mm in depth), it runs out of fuel because the return line doesn't go to the bottom of the tank.
Q: TR61 - Fuel Gauge staying on Full
I can drive for a long time before the gauge starts to move from full.
A:
The new tank is approximately 2 times bigger than the original, and the shape is a little unusual with the water tank included. With such a design the sender unit location is limited and is unable to register the top portion of fuel. With this in mind we recommend to set your trip meter to help become familiar with the new readings and measure the distance you travel till the gauge starts to move, this will be consistent and will only vary with different fuel economy because of driving conditions E.G.: low range 4WD all day vs highway roads The link below will give a good graphical representation of how it all works.

A:
The new tank is approximately 2 times bigger than the original, and the shape is a little unusual with the water tank included. With such a design the sender unit location is limited and is unable to register the top portion of fuel. With this in mind we recommend to set your trip meter to help become familiar with the new readings and measure the distance you travel till the gauge starts to move, this will be consistent and will only vary with different fuel economy because of driving conditions E.G.: low range 4WD all day vs highway roads The link below will give a good graphical representation of how it all works.
