Long Range America - Announcement

[serbiansizzle]

Good summary above. Another question, how would the factory fuel gauge and range calculation work? It would be very nice if the digital gauge noted 600+ miles after fill up. That alone may be worth the investment price and mitigate the fuel economy anxiety.

From looking at other setups that LRA has on other vehicles, the aux tank will be separately measured via a basic led gauge in the vehicle that also has a button to initiate the transfer from the aux tank to the Main tank (see attached image). It's pretty simple from the looks of that (nothing wrong with that)

It won't be tied into the vehicle's estimated range calculation as that will remain with the main vehicle tank. The main upside is that you can refill the main tank at any time at the push of a button. I have been told that this works whilst the vehicle is in motion as well so it's not something that would require a full stop of the vehicle to initiate the fuel transfer.

Great info. The photo of the gauge and transfer is nice.

I had the 24 gal spare tire location aux tank on my 4Runner. It’s not the 2 hole filler neck. It fills the main tank first than overflows the aux tank. It’s awesome and easy to use. However it’s not carb legal and you will not pass smog legally in CA.

I was curious how this worked. Thanks.

yes you can there are shops in ca willing to do it. You will have to pass smog on your own, but you should need to worry that for 7 years

Yes simple as that. Been on the market for decades and as long as the installers are good then there is no problems. You can transfer it anytime but the pumps are quite loud. Ticking ticking while you stopped might get you unwanted attention and people asking what’s wrong with your vehicle. Once you driving the sound can’t really be heard no more.

When you say shops are willing to do it in CA - are you talking installers or manufacturers

If you call lra and ask nicely and don’t sound like a cop they will point you to a shop they have relations with and get your tank installed.

I couldn't see LRA posting on this forum yet, if they did, my apologies and please delete the thread.
