SUZUKI JIMNY 80L LONG RANGER FUEL TANK INSTALLED😎

Finally did this upgrade and boy o boy am i super happy with the outcome. It's not a cheap upgrade but well worth the money spent for such a super product.
There is a quick video from Long Ranger on you tube well worth watching
• Jimny Longranger Fuel ...
One of the biggest weakness for the Jimny is it's fuel range. The stock fuel tank is only 40L and range is about 350-400km for a stock Jimny. If you do any mods like bigger tires and suspension upgrades along with any attempts to do some overlanding (which adds more weight) the fuel consumption becomes ridiculously high and the fuel range plummets to about 250km.
That's why the Jimny really needs this upgrade and also it has another extra 30L auxiliary tank which is custom made. So after this mod the total fuel onboard the Jimny is 110L which extends the range up to almost a 800km in best conditions but about 600km in rough conditions and i am extremely happy with that.

Go Jimny 🤞

I got the long ranger tank added to my 2022 Jimny, absolutely love it. I live down under and having a fuel range of 900-1000klms is a must, carrying fuel cans in the outback on a Jimny is wasting storage space for other necessities. I love knowing I’ve got heaps of good non contaminated fuel on tap, no need to pull over and fuel up via dodgy servos or carried heavy fuel containers. Awesome modification to my jimny, proudly Aussie made and well worth the investment if you plan on going into the outback.

How much did it cost you altogether including installation?

[@jasonkofoed6626]

@@markc839 it was $2600 fitted but then you have to fill the tank so add an extra 80 litres of fuel costs on-top so they can test for leaks pressure etc. It was $1457 for the tank, it was $520 to have fitted and then it was another $660 to get an official compliance place added to the car for the modification. Depending where you are the engineer compliance plate cost could be less or maybe not even necessary but here in Tasmania it was necessary.

@@jasonkofoed6626 Hey mate, where abouts did you get yours from, looking to get my Jimny soon too in Australia :)

[@jasonkofoed6626]

@@spencerfrankel414 Gday mate, actually there are a few options now days for long range tanks for the jb74. But I have to say “the long ranger” have been building extended tanks for ever and was the first to engineer and release a double sized tank perfectly made for the jb74. If you want to install yourself then go straight to the long ranger in nsw or go to any ARB store and they work with and install all long ranger products. Personally extending the fuel range was a must for me and was the first mod I done on the jimny accompanied by old man emu lift kit and rear diff locker. You get those mods and your ib74 just went bulletproof.

[@IanTriggs]

​@@jasonkofoed6626How much did you pay for rear lockers in AU, fully fitted?

[@joverparas]

your build is really inspiring. I wish I can afford to get a Jimmy and also put the same customizations you've done. This really looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@shhbfa]

Great video. Did you manage to fix the distance to empty (DTE) readings after the upgrade?

[@peterpontikos3786]

thus, to recap: long range and aux tank (btw now browndavis provides a 38l aux tank for the JB74W too) gives your Jimny what kind of range? also, have you found any lithium battery to replace your 70 amp battery under the hood?

[@sinnakjell7077]

The new jimny axels, do they handle bigger wheels and lockers well? how hard would it be to setup the older jimny 1999 with a set of these axels..? They do look very similar hmmmm

[@MrSoeley]

Another great video, thanks. I really enjoy watching them. One question, I have wondered this since I first saw the pictures of it. How does the fuel get transferred from one side to the other as there appears to a small part of the tank on the other side of the prop shaft, is there an internal transfer or something?

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Thanks for the positive comment 👍 yes I think there is a fuel line or a hose in between and also there is a second fuel regulator box. But I think Long Ranger can answer your question better than me😄

[@1974iguana]

Did you just return the OEM exhaust or was that an upgrade?

[@fridemike5686]

Hey Brother💪✌✌ I also goth the same Jimny but not as much spendet in itt😅 You did that verry SERIOUS!!!! Bravo!! A question: did yours also in 4 wd or slow 4wd that when you stopp in a Angle on Ice or mud that the Jimny not will go as fast as you gife gas??? I had much issious that the Jimny not gifed gas wgen i push the gas pedal... it just doing like nothing.... Thanks Mike

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

Yes the Jimny lacks power in tough situations but I have new gear ratios in axles and soon I am getting lower ratios in t-case. That helps a lot.

[@rickhunter6667]

When jimny is fully loaded and modified , I still worry about it’s power, 1.5 NA petrol engine is just too weak, especially going uphills, I still believe the car like this should use turbo Diesel engine, 2.0 diesel should be perfect for modified jimny.

[@neilbeacham1244]

Hi nice work, the extra weight is carried lower with lower centre of gravity than gerry can's good improvement Are you still looking at turbo/super charger or bigger motor

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

You are absolutely right, the Jimny really lacks power and I guess the only two options are engine upgrade or turbo/supercharger! Which is cheaper and gives better power I’m not sure.

Suzuki should just release more powerful or electric version :( I don't get what are Japanese thinking :( Maybe just lazy ;)

I meed this for jimny 5door / jimny xl

[@BorisEkner]

Instead of a very expensive 80L fuel tank I think 1 or 2 jerry tanks on the rear ladder will do the same. - Am I wrong? Please share your opinion.

[@jasonkofoed6626]

Yes I disagree, been there done that. Life is so much easier with a long range tank.

[@khaledbalochh]

why not have an 80l tank and also 1 jerry

[@monkeymachine62]

Room is a premium on the jimny mate , I use to do the same but found 60kg extra hanging off the back changed the dynamics way too much. Atlest with the 80l it's low cog

[@thenewjimnychannel361]

30L extra custom built fuel tank installed underneath the back👌
