| Long Range Fuel Tank alternatives |
|
I plan on installing a long range fuel tank in the D4 and after a few searches on google and disco4 I've come to the conclusion that there are surprisingly many different manufacturers of such accessories and most of them does not exactly line up for awards for webdesign or product information.
As I would rather not buy and try several different units; recommendations from people on this site with hands on experience would be appreciated.
The question is:
Which long range fuel tanks are considered as high quality and worth the investment?

I have a longranger tank in my D4. For the D4 this tank is 104l.
The Longranger tanks are very well made. In the youtube link below you can see the tank below the rear bar.
