Long Range Fuel Tanks

Here is one for the books!!

Recently we eliminated the auxiliary fuel tank in the canopy and used the space for a freezer.

Added the Long Range 295l fuel tank.

So far so good.

About two weeks after the work was done by we were driving up a very steep hill and did not have the power to make it to the top. Uh oh!!

Took the vehicle to Range Ford and they spent a month tearing it apart: new injectors and rings, new fuel pump, did just about everything they could think of except return Big Red to ARB.

Finally, Ford threw up their hands and delivered the truck to ARB.

In the meantime, we are overseas and communicating first with Ford and then with ARB by Skype.

Two days after ARB has the truck they tell me that the installer reached up and ran his hand along the fuel line from the pickup to the pump and - gues what - found a kink in the fuel line.

Big surprise!!

Ford literally spent thousands and never checked the actually line from the tank to the pump.

ARB allowed the truck to leave the facility without making sure that the line was straight and there were no kinks.

Now all is well and Big Red is eating up the hills - so they tell me.

Boy are we at the mercy of the tradies.

Cheers, Jay
