Long Range Automotive Extended Range Fuel Tank

Do they still offer the tank? Left them an email no response.

 

Yeah, they do. Give em a little bit to respond.

 

Yes, but they are/were having website issues so your message may not have gotten to them. Ward called me because he only got my name and phone number from my message. Talking to Ward is worth the time. He knows his stuff.

 

Will have to resubmit my message than.

 

Cruiser Brothers sent me the installation instructions for the DCSB as a starting point. Looking it over it seems pretty doable to install one of these tanks in my AC. One thing I did notice though is that the new tanks sit lower than the factory tank, and the front looks like it could easily get hung up on obstacles. Can you comment on this from your experience? Also, a factory or typical aftermarket skid plate will no longer fit, so I'm wondering if you did anything to armor the new tank.

 

TACOMA TANK KIT UPGRADE PROGRAM & NEW MODEL TANK
As US agents for Long Range Automotive (LRA) we offer over 60 different tank kits for Toyotas, Jeeps and Land Rovers - among others. We have known and done business with LRA for years and formalized this exclusive relationship in late 2017.

During 2018 we have sold several hundred tanks here with uniformly good results. The one exception was a tendency for the tank to "burp" back gas, fill slowly and vent poorly. When we found out about it, we stopped selling the tank and investigated - learning too late that there was a history of this behavior for many/most owners.

We, in conjunction with LRA, undertook a development program to learn what the problem was and to correct the deficiency in the product. Over a period of months, a new version of the tank was developed, along with a "fix-it kit" - both adding a spring-loaded Inlet Control Valve (ICV).

Two things to announce:

UPGRADE PROGRAM
We are offering the fix-it kit to owners of LRA tanks for installation. We will ship the kit free of charge to owners (with proof of purchase). Installation will take a shop or owner approximately two hours. Upon installation, we will reimburse the owner with a $200 payment with photo documentation of the installation. If you own a Tacoma with LRA tank, please provide your name, address and phone number along with date and proof of purchase, along with a description of your experience with the tank. Send to info@cruiserbrothers.com and we will contact you.

NEW KIT ON SALE
The new kit is now available for sale and to relaunch this 33 gallon replacement tank, it is available at $200 off the retail price of $1,595 ($1,395 plus shipping) on orders placed through January 4th.

If you would like a quote to purchase and ship a tank, please go to this web page, then scroll down to select the Tacoma tank #TTACDCR and "Request A Quote" - we will respond by email with a total price with shipping/handling.

Utterly amazing! You ask for technical advise on a modification to your Tacoma, and you end up with medical advise!

 

Has anyone in California using this had problems passing smog test?
