Hello all
I'm not going to confess to doing anything stupid as I'd be writing all
day...
I am going to confess to fitting a long range tank under my car, where the
spare wheel often goes as there is a huge amount of space that otherwise
will be wasted. I know a few out there have done it but I'm just wondering
about size and weight. Amongst other things I will be fitting new springs
and shocks and bushes etc but I am trying to keep the weight increase to a
minimum. So no twin Kaymar wheel holders + rear bar, no drawer system in the
load area etc. I'm looking to get a total range of about 1,000 kms so as
well as my standard 80 litre tank, so wondered if anyone out there could
advise on capacity and cost etc. Diesel consumption will obviously be
affected by weight and once we're loaded up and ready to go the vehicle
could weigh a bit. But I'm determined to keep weight to a minimum.
So, you long range tankers out there, I would appreciate your thoughts as
always...
