LandCruiser 200: 'The Long Ranger' fuel tank install LC200 

Perhaps ARB don't sell them in the US. I'd suggest you contact them and ask. Failing that, try contacting the manufacturer at thelongranger.com.au

Yes, it does limit the use if high-flow. Main tank fills fine. But as the long range tank starts to fill, the breather can't quite keep up and it trips off. I drop back to the second latch and it's OK.

It's an Ultragauge MX. Available direct from their website. Works with any modern vehicle. Provides various gauges, plus trip computer functionality and alarms for engine parameters.

Not quite. The 200 uses a single gauge for both tanks, calibrated so the top 1/3 represents the 45L sub tank, and the lower 2/3 is the 93L main. The factory gauge still thinks the rear tank is only 45L, even though it's now 180L. So you'll find it takes a very long time for the gauge to drop to 2/3 (as the 180L is consumed), and it will then drop faster as the 93L main tank is consumed. Essentially, the top 1/3 of the gauge represents 2/3 of the new fuel capacity.

I wouldn't count on it. Depending on the modifications, you might get 2200-2300km

Thanks for that reply

And I’m going with the average 2250 km

The engine draws fuel from the main (centre) tank. As it draws fuel from that tank, it's constantly refilled from the rear tank. So the rear tank effectively empties first.

@@austimages Thanks for that.

pigstiwgn Just the standard Toyota offroad hitch, inserted into the factory socket in the chassis.

No, it's just there for the tyre carrier. There's a massive boxed crossmember at the back, and a round one just in front of where the tyre was.

@@austimages Thank you so much for confirming!!! I totally forgot about the bumper-area crossmember

+bluesky I would love a Tesla P85D as my next on-road car.... However, for remote / long distance touring and towing, I suspect it will be a long time before electric 4WDs are a viable proposition. The technology just doesn't exist yet for sufficient range and viable recharging. Give it time and it will come though.

Australian Images That's what I thought as well. But then I found out about 2 things, there is a company called VIA Motors. They basically are electric versions of GM commercial trucks with on board electric generators. All commercial fleets are buying them. Lets not forget about locomotive freight trains as well. All freight trains are electric with on board diesel generators. The instant massive torque of an electric motor is so perfect for heavy duty applications. I wish I could get a Land Cruiser that way.

+bluesky It improves torque range, but it doesn't solve either the environmental or complexity issue though. In fact, it adds substantial complexity!

Australian Images If you add the gas or diesel generator... yes and no, complexity in terms of systems involved increases, but the power train overall is simpler and more efficient. A good example would be the Chevrolet volt. When it is operating without charging at all, so the gas generator is providing all the electricity, it is far more efficient than a car that size with a regular gas engine of same size through a transmission. That's because you eliminate loss of efficiency through transmission, drive shafts, gears, axles... For long hauls as you were thinking, we have to assume purely gas or diesel generator since the battery at this point would be insufficient.

Sorry I haven't got any info about the 4.7. Try joining the LCOOL forum and asking on there.

For this tank you need to relocate the spare tyre. But they make a smaller version which allows it to remain in place. The fuel gauge still works, but it's not really accurate. The 1st third of the gauge represents the first 2/3 of the fuel capacity. The last 2/3 of the gauge represents the last 1/3 of the fuel capacity. Sounds odd, but it's fine once you get used to it.

Hi Matthew, I'm not sure if there are any differences with the US models. You'd really need to contact them direct via www.thelongranger.com.au

thx for getting back to me i am planing a expedition overland 4runner and i cant find any companies in the U.S that make them for suv"s only trucks o and the cars here are gas would that be a problem

Shouldn't be. Like I said, contact Long Ranger and see what they can offer you.

try ATTA ..google them they do it for ford 250 in the US

Not towing, I'd get around 2100km on average, with a mix of highway/city/offroad, depending on weight. On an outback trip, heavily loaded and towing a camper (total weight was around 5.5T), range was 1600km, with a mix of highway and offroad.

Well, you are adding 50-150kg of extra weight (depending on how full the tank is), so there is a minor affect on performance, just as with adding anything with that much weight.

Yes, you should be able to. Just check with Long Ranger to make sure there haven't been any changes.

It did have 138L from factory. Now it has 273L. The small (45L) rear tank is replaced by a 180L tank in this video. Some models of the 200 did only have 93L from factory though.

Australian Images That is huge! Great videos

About 140kg extra in total, including the extra fuel, compared to the standard 138L capacity models.

Thank you,,

This tank is 180 litres, so the new total is 273 litres.

The LC200 has two tanks, a 93 litre and a 45 litre, although they essentially operate as one large tank. This Long Ranger tank is 180 litres and replaces just the 45 litre tank. So the total capacity increases from 138 litres to 273 litres.

+Abdullah M What do you consider is dangerous?

id understand if it was petrol. diesel is much safer to have in large quantities
