Cheers Alan, yes great to know you can be a little more flexible when you can.
I usually start with dead full tanks from
home, unless city is stupid price, and at those times you can get fuel in the near country a lot less.
Then I top off as I go, usually the more remote, the greater the cost, so I can keep fuel costs to a minimum there.
I generally am ok on slow outback for about a safe 1500km / 1800km or so hwy on the 2 tanks onboard, but often take a jerry, sometimes 2 for 226lt.
Not long ago, I drove from Melb to Bris with 2 tanks and 1 jerry.
Long
Ranger seem to promise most makes with more clearance than oem tank, mine was 20mm less depth than original, but that was without the oem fuel tank bash plate (fairly thin ~ 1.0 to 1.5mm steel).
They say the aluminised steel is strong, but more importantly takes a bit of rough stuff
well.
That said, it seems to be the extra clearance is fine, as there are no dings in the tank so far.
