We got a long ranger installed, love it, absolute must for the Jimny, just be careful who installs it, ARB buggered the joins on my exhaust and I had 2 leaks, take it somewhere and get it welded, doesn't cost much and totally worth it
how do they use the left over fuel in the smaller section of the tank when there is a huge divider in the middle and the pump is located in the big section? Also jimny can carry up to 800kg trailer if it's a braked trailer. Adding/strapping on 40 or even 80 liters of portable fuel cans sound much easier than having to modify exhaust system and the fuel tank...
The computer probably just does a simple plotting of fuel level to air/fuel ratio sensor data to approximate it, which means that it continuously calibrates. From the website, they do say that the computer might initially freak out because the level float isn't going down as fast as the air/fuel ratio sensor would suggest but would go away after some driving.
I have one, fuel gauge works fine, as does range estimate but you need to drive it for a bit after filling up. Consistently get 900 to 1000Km out of a tank though so very easy to estimate how much you got left
@@stevestevesteve Hey man, so whenever you fill up the tank the trip computer will say that you only have 400Km range, but after driving for awhile that usually goes up to 800Km or so. The orange fuel light turns on when the fuel gauge bar gets to the final bar (of 8 or 10 bars total I think, not sure off the top of my head), usually when that happens I have somewhere between 100 and 120 km left in the tank, maybe 150 at a stretch. You get a final but of warning when the last bar on the guage runs out and you have an empty guage, usually then you're down to your last 5 to 7 litres in the tank which means anywhere from 50 to 80Km depending on what kind of driving you're doing. The only thing I would warn about is that if you're very close to a dry tank, like the last 2 or 3 litres maybe, is if you drive up a very steep hill then the fuel sloshes to the back of the tank and you can stall (ask me how I know, haha), I tested it out and kept a small jerry can in the car just in case.
if i want to fulfill my main tank, - keep pushing the button in dash until main tank is fulfilled? or - slightly push the button once and the fuel pump automatically works until main tank is fulfilled?
eventhough ordered in 11/20 just fitted here in Athens Greece 09/21, the supply chain debacle affected the despatch from Aus to Gr thru ARB! Kudos TLR for the thorough and efficient packaging, instructions, as the installation of all parts to assemble; there was nothing missing and all parts were successfully bolted on by ARB in GR. Now the JB74W can enjoy OffRoad Long Range travel without any range anxiety.
