    Sorry to bump this topic up, but it might be useful to some people what my thoughts were at the end for this: Auxiliary Fuel tank: Requiers extra work to fit, hence maintainance if something comes loose Requires pump to fill main tank or switch on fuel line to switch A or B tanks If another car...

    Auxiliary Fuel Tank or Jerry Cans?

    Thanks for info! I assume that is a "heavily loaded" figure... so will try to keep way below that :) can you run a diesel defender on avgas?? plus yes, you save the weight, but for the same litres, you get less mileage with avgas, which means you need more litres of avgas, which in turn...

    Auxiliary Fuel Tank or Jerry Cans?

    Auxiliary Fuel Tank or Jerry Cans?

    all very good thoughts... confirm some of my points... and I think this time I will avoid messing about, and just go with the faultless solution: Jerry cans... Yes a bit of messing about, but nothing goes wrong with them and I save space in rear cab... cheaper too... :-)

    Auxiliary Fuel Tank or Jerry Cans?

    Was pondering on this yesterday and I cannot find an answer... The options are as follows: Option 1) Get 4 Jerry cans (90 L total) and fix them in the back of the landy or the roof rack Costs: Cans - £86 holders - ~£60? TOTAL £146.00 (more or less) Option 2) get a large tank, a fuel...
