Since 1989, Long Range Automotive has been manufacturing and supplying Auxiliary and Long Range fuel tanks for 4WDs to allow greater distances to be traveled in the vast Aussie Outback, where fuel is often scarce.
Long Range Automotive uses the latest technology to design long range fuel tanks that are the most suitable shape for a specific vehicle. Precision CAD/CAM drawings are produced for all petrol tanks and water tanks to ensure they fit properly into the selected location. They use a Farley computer controlled plasma profile cutting system ensuring accuracy, and providing every customer with a high quality, precision made fuel tank. All welds are full penetration corner to corner MIG welded, using a high quality inert shielding gas and level layer wound MIG wire to ensure good welding penetration and exclusion of porosity in the weld. The long range fuel tanks are fully internally baffled and an expansion chamber is incorporated into the design of the tank. All tanks are pressure tested and checked by two separate quality control procedures.
