It is happening, Long Range America is building Fuel tanks for both Grenadiers

[JP4]

I was on a trip with a guy who had jerry cans on his roof-rack and developed a slow leak while he was driving. Something ignited it and within literal seconds the entire Defender 110 was in flames. They were out of the vehicle very quickly but still sustained serious burns and the vehicle was a complete loss. Petrol in jerry cans is a serious fire risk so I personally want it to be the exception to my trips, not the norm.

Shit.

On the exhaust sound , Khris from Long Range sent me this video snippet of a Grenadier with the tank and muffler installed.

Sexy garble and burps -- I like it.

Sounds very, very close to the unmodified exhaust.

Wondering how hard it would be to create a sperate fuel fill for the aux tank, and use the Add Blue fill location. Personally, I'd prefer to NOT cut the factory fill and have a secondary auxiliary fill, and the Grenadier's large fuel door and blanked off Ad Blue fill location on Gas/Petrol trucks seems like it would easily accommodate such?

I'm not sure how the Add Blue filler fits for diesel versions, but on the petrol version the replacement filler (with two necks) is a clean and tidy final product. I think trying to add a secondary filler neck would be difficult if not impossible to do without a lot more cutting that you have to do now, and it would be difficult to make that approach look "factory". I also am not sure there is room to run two filler tubes up there.

Does the tank hold vacuum with the two necks? ie do I put the gas cap on each neck? I assume it does that to make sure both tanks are fully sealed so that the evap tests pass successfully?

There is one cap that seals both necks. Mine is at the shop getting the Agile Offroad Big Brakes installed or I'd send a photo. But the short answer is both necks get a good seal.

Edit-- There is a photo on the Longranger website:

I have remote reservoir on my shocks. Fox 2.5. are there instructions out on how to accommodate?

This is the filler neck on my petrol version

An, I see. So you can't tell you have two tanks unless you open the fuel cap.
I can keep my stock cap.

I can keep my stock cap.

The factory cap doesn't work with the LRA filler neck, it comes with its own (generic looking) cap without a tether

The without a tether bit is slightly annoying

You seem like a smart boy, I'm pretty sure you can work out how to make a tether work!
