Any information on the long range fuel tanks would be appreciated. Does the tank sit too low once installed?? Has the tank have enough baffles to stop the sloshing????
I would appreciate your comments.

Had mine for 9 months now. Has done the bottom half of the Canning Stock Route plus other off road stuff. I have banged it a few times and put a scratch in it but ARB reckon its OK. You just need to be mindful of vehicle placement over obstacles and go over big stuff on the left side. I like having the comfort of the extra fuel. In the city I get high 900kms per tank and nearly 1100kms in the country (depends on load and whether towing or not).
Unless you are doing a lot of rock climbing then it is quite OK.
For me the big plus for this tank is that it keeps weight low and forward of the rear axle.

I am also long time reader, first time poster and agree that as long as you are aware that the tank hangs down a bit and make allowances you should be ok. I am happy with the tank but I do a lot of country Ks so suits my needs.
It is a modification so you need to get an approval document but ARB give you a certificate if they install it. I’m not sure what happens if you install it yourself. But it does require partial removal of a cross member so it’s not a simple DIY job.

Does the vehicle have to be modified in any way. I just got told the 128 litre ARB tank needs a modification plate?
The LRA Aux tank installation also requires a mod/blue plate
