The auxiliary tank LRA is designed for short wheelbase Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40, BJ42, FJ40 and FJ42. It is installed behind the rear axle and adds a fuel capacity of 80 litres. This additional reserve allows for an increase in the amount of fuel carried for travel, tracks, raids and travel in isolated areas.
This tank operates with a solenoid valve system. The auxiliary tank level can be checked via the standard gauge on the dashboard, thanks to the connection of the auxiliary tank's gauge unit via a relay. The exhaust must be modified to exit on the right side, in front of the rear wheel. This modification is not included in the kit. The filler point is new, and the spare tire remains.
Since 1989, LONG RANGE AUTOMOTIVE designs and manufactures its tanks in Australia. Each model is developed for a specific vehicle application to optimize available volume while respecting the chassis's mechanical constraints. The tanks LRA They are made of 2mm T125CQ steel. They incorporate internal baffling to limit fuel movement, as well as an expansion chamber. Before being sold, they undergo pressure tests and several quality control checks. Tests are also carried out over dozens of kilometers of heavily degraded tracks. These tests verify the tank's resistance to vibrations, repeated twisting, impacts, and the stresses of prolonged off-road use.
