Fuel Tanks and Jerry Cans relating to Fuel Range

[Fishenough]

If through traveling in Canada, stock range is fine. Camping and exploring and remote areas, it's a pain to have to drop everything and take the slow drive out just to top up with gas. I travel remote western and Northern Canada frequently, and at times bring 2 20 l gas cans as you do. Traveling in remote non through route areas, in the Yukon, BC, and the NWT, on abandoned resource roads and easier ATV trails; absolutely need extra fuel. Before going back to the Yukon in 2027 I will be installing a secondary tank where my spare tire sat.

Travelled, and love the N and S Canol Road. But if just through traveling through there , have no need to carry extra fuel. YouTube The Coal Lake Road, I've taken my 4Runner, a Jeep, and heavy KLR up in the Alpine many times there, where it's easy to spend multiple days exploring in different directions. Just this year was exploring remote access points to Brooks peninsula, and found that a seasonally closed gas station in Port Alice; making it ify if we were going to make the next 40 km away gas station. Point I'm making, on the very well-traveled route through the Yukon for example , you run into hundreds of Travelers. These past few years on these amazing detours , rarely see a soul.

Keep in mind that stock range is only good if you have a stock vehicle. My vehicle is a bit far from that and requires extra field to begin with. That's why it's getting a bigger tank. Things are still in track it should be here sometime next month.

What, running tires 4 inches bigger than stock will affect my mileage. Lifetime offroad yes I call a Toyota on 35" with regeared and locked diffs with a RTT a stock vehicle

Also depends on the vehicle itself. My old Dodge V10 burns gas liked a carbed big block when crawling on FSRs, even if the engine is not putting out much power at those speeds. Goes through the 134L tank quick. My 2 door Jeep on 37s does much better at those speeds, 1/3 the fuel burn but 1/2 tank capacity. On the highway the Jeep sucks, 250 - 300km before fuel light comes on, due to poor aero.

Your 2 door jeep probably has a lot less cylinders than the old Dodge as well

Well for those wondering, I have confirmation that the Tank has been finished on the assembly line and should be shipping out this week! A little bit of a delay, but I'm ok with that. I also have a new Fuel Pump and Gasket to go with it. Now to wait for it to arrive so I can have fun installing it!

I'll write another thread for it when that happens!
