A company here in SA make one to fit under the rear fender, but it can only carry 10gallons. I need to get my fuel range to more than 650miles for a trip into up into africa. Have any of you fitted such a tank and where can I put it to get maximum capacity? Thanks   Geoff 93 RRC (Geoff) Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 218 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 12:09 am:    Do a search for on some companies in Australia. I remember some extended range tanks for the Disco offered by some firm over there when I lived there.   Donald McFarlane (Dsmcf) Member Username: Dsmcf Post Number: 79 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 12:42 am:    when doing your search you will find numerous comments to the effect that jerry cans are a better solution.   Jack Leitch (Liveattheedge) Member Username: Liveattheedge Post Number: 91 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 01:02 am:    arb are a vendor for a company called, "Long Ranger Fuel Tanks". i'm not sure if they can get it to the united states though. www.arbusa.com Cheers Jack   not the same Mike (Mikem) Member Username: Mikem Post Number: 84 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 01:13 am:    You might want to look into a diesel instead of a v8. They seem to be better for long range expeditions anyway.
