Looking for Long Range Fuel Tank Options in America

Accessories & Modifications
1

I’m on the hunt for extended fuel tank options that are available for vehicles here in the U.S. I’m planning a few long road trips and could really use some advice on aftermarket fuel tanks to help increase my vehicle’s driving range.

Specific Questions:

  • What are the top brands offering long-range fuel tanks for popular models?
  • Are there any specific tank capacities that are better suited for long-distance travel?
  • Does anyone have experiences or reviews on particular models of extended fuel tanks?
  • How complicated is installation? I’m relatively handy, but want to know if it’s a job I could tackle myself.

Additional Thoughts:

  • I’m also interested if any retailers specialize in these types of tanks.
  • Any recommendations on compatibility with different brands or models would be very helpful!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any tips you can share!

When looking for a long-range fuel tank, compatibility with your vehicle model is crucial. You don’t want to buy a tank that doesn’t fit correctly! Make sure to check the manufacturer’s specifications.

Absolutely! I’ve also found that capacity matters a lot. Depending on your travel needs, consider how much extra fuel you’ll realistically want.

Don’t forget about the material of the tank! Aluminum tanks tend to be lighter, but plastic tanks often resist corrosion better. Weigh the pros and cons when making your choice.

Good point! Pricing can also vary greatly between materials. Sometimes aluminum tanks are more expensive upfront but may save you in the long run.

Brand options are plentiful too. I’ve heard great things about Titan Fuel Tanks. They seem to have a good reputation and decent warranty coverage.

7

Titan is solid, but don’t overlook Transfer Flow. They offer custom options and exceptional customer service.

I totally agree with xgutierrez! However, have you guys considered checking for reviews? Consumer feedback can guide you on the longevity and performance of these tanks.

9

So true! Reading reviews often reveals problems you wouldn’t think of! Also, make sure to verify installation options and difficulty.

10

It’s important to check local regulations too. Some states have specific laws regarding modifications that could impact whether your tank is street legal.

11

Definitely. The last thing you want is a ticket for an unwitting modification! Better safe than sorry.

12

Honestly, I’m considering going all out and installing dual tanks. Is that overkill, or is it just peace of mind? What do you guys think?

13

I’d say go for it if you plan on long trips! Maybe even add a golden retriever in the back for extra company on those adventures! :joy:

14

While humorous, having a dual tank does sound practical for reducing the number of fuel stops. Long drives can be exhausting otherwise!

Finally, don’t forget about maintenance! Long-range tanks need regular checks for leaks and overall integrity. Avoid costly repairs down the line!

Good tips! Reflecting on my past experiences, maintenance often gets overlooked until issues arise late.

17

In conclusion, there are many factors at play when choosing a long-range fuel tank. Take your time and research thoroughly—this is an important investment!

I’m also on the hunt for long-range fuel tank options! I found that the installation process can be tricky, especially if you’re not familiar with the layout of your vehicle. Some common challenges include sealing leaks and making sure the tank sits securely. Anyone have tips on tools needed?

19

Absolutely! A basic toolset including wrenches, screwdrivers, and a torque wrench should do the job. Don’t forget safety gear like gloves and goggles. A clean workspace is essential too. Planning to install soon?

Don’t forget to have a friend help you! The installation process can be tedious, especially lifting those heavy tanks. Plus, it’s a good excuse for a road trip afterward if you get it done right!
