Long Range America 33Gal Extended Range Tank

Anyone here have any experience with this tank? Is it worth it? Good quality? The wife and I will be doing a lot of traveling in the taco soon and I'd love something bigger than the stock 21gal.

Sweet baby jeezus that’s a lot of tanks of gas. I feel like you could have a fab shop make one for less.

 

Worth it? Dunno, it’s a bit more expensive than two 5 gallon Jerry cans

 

50% more Gas . That's pretty awesome but expensive.

 

@Round the world is using one in their ACLB 3rd gen that they are currently using to travel around the globe.

 

I've towed a trailer through some remote places and never really felt that range was a problem.

And when on the road, you're going to be wanting a leg stretch every 250 miles anyway.

My opinion. It's a waste of weight and money.

 

I agree that price is a bit excessive for just 10 gallons extra.

At least with this you could have a total of 52 gallons at a cheaper price if you can rig it up yourself.

 

Oof, you think the taco lean is bad now..

Probably better off with a couple jerry cans on the opposite side

 

$2300 for a gas can? I thought the $20 gas cans at gas stations were highway robbery for dummies that run out of gas, but this seems like a new level.

 

Heard that when filled they add so much weight to the truck (186 lbs for 31 x 6lbs) and introduced a significant lean on the truck when filled. If you could get rid of the spare tire and put a 10-15 gallon one there that is balanced out with the truck think that would be a game changer.

 

There is another thread about this that you can search for.
I have the tank, it’s been over a year now.
My quick thoughts, I have not filled more than 27.x gallons into it. I have tried many times. In my specific case, it brought me to factory range from ~300mi because my taco sucks gas bad.
As far as ‘taco lean’ I don’t notice anything. But I also have LT on my truck along with several hundred pounds of weight.
For long drives and extended camping trips I would recommend it.

 

Holy cow! Ithought my truck was a gas hog.

 

OP, seriously how can $2300 be a better buy than a $10-20 10 gallon gas can?

My boat had a $30 gallon tank and got 2 mpg. I took it on many 70+ mile trips on the upper Mississippi where you have you plan ahead where you are going to get gas and running out of gas is dangerous. When I was worried, I filled up 1 or 2 5 gallon plastic gas cans and tossed them in the back. I never ran out of gas.

 

wait, even the first fill when empty wasn’t 33 gallons?

 

Or, with an electric fuel transfer pump:



2 or 3 of the 5-gal jerry cans would be the simplest solution. Can’t imagine burning through a whole tank of gas without taking a stretch break or two.

 

Why not enjoy the road trip, right?

 

two like mine dont require electricity, only exercise

 

Agreed - just an option for the OP, if he’s doing a Cannonball run.

 

There's a thread or two about this tank. I'd opt for a jerry can, roto pax, or Wally World gas can special for much less imo.
