Hello friends, welcome from beautiful northern Arizona. My first post as well. I just had a Long Range Automotive auxiliary fuel tank installed in a 2014 4 door Rubicon. This tank along with the main tank fill from one neck hole filling, both tanks at one time. I would like to able to fill tanks separately using the main tank mostly, and only filling the auxiliary when necessary. The part is called a y neck or dual neck filler used on Toyotas and some others. If someone has done this and can inform me as to the parts required, I will really appreciate it, thanks, Flagman

Sorry I can't help with your question, but I'd love to hear more about your aux tank.
How much did you pay?
Who did you order it from in the states? (how long did it take to get)?
How is fuel transferred from the aux to the main tank?
Anything else you want to tell us about it?
Thanks!

Hi Dan, I found out about the tank from this site by googling auxiliary jeep fuel tanks, "buyers guide to auxiliary fuel tanks". Its from Longrangeautomotive.com, Outback Proven in Las Vegas had the tank.. It was a tank for a 207-2011 JK 4 door, but by removing the fist small muffler and modifying where an emission cannister went, it fits perfect in my 2014. You'll see on their site it ia a different tank. I had the right tank on order for 3 months and Ben at the Vegas center let me know it would not be coming in as they are shutting down the store. For your info he has one more identical tank left. I had Jesse Kerr of Kerr motorsports do the install, tank was $900 and its a transfer tank, 68 liter, 18 gallons. The regular price is $1450, the other tank was available yesterday, but it won't be there long. Many auxiliary tank manufactures are listed on the buyers guide, but since most are in AU, they do not import. I almost pulled the trigger on the Genright, US made 22 gallon tank, not a transfer, but the cheapest complete install I could find was $3700. You also must remove the main exhaust muffler and route the exit out the drivers side, I wasn't sure of the exhaust noise with a smaller muffler so opted out, its not a transfer tank. My tank sits no lower than the main tank, For me my jeep is mainly a hunting tool and this is a vital add on, flagman

It's been a few years since I sold my landcruiser (80 series), but just so you know the dual filler necks are the most difficult part to find. I had one that was for diesels and one for petrol. I installed the petrol one and sold the diesel one. They worked with a diverter valve that was controlled with a pull out lever. With the lever pushed in, it filled the main tank. With the lever pulled out, it filled the aux tank. Pretty clever, but they were hard to find five years ago, not sure about now. The later 100 series dual filler necks basically had two fill ports. Angle it one way and it filled one tank, pull out the nozzle, re-insert it and angle it the other way and it would fill the other tank.
I would ask the landcruiser guys and see if anyone can still source them.

I've been drooling over the LRA tank since I bought my JK new. I thought they had one specifically for the 12 up JK that worked with the new style exhaust? I chatted with Ben once about it, but it's been on the backburner for a while now. Sucks they're closing the store down....
Looks like they do:

It's 60 liters vs the 65 liters of the 07-11 JK version.
They have them in AU, but the order due last March to US never made it. Ben had two of the tanks for the previous model and contacted the engineer at Longrange to advise us if the older rmodel would work. The main retro was to remove the small muffler on drivers side, very little noise difference while outside and I cannot detect any noise when inside and moving. Ben said it would be a year or more before distribution of the tanks gets worked out, flagman
