Long Range America Tank

[Lost_Ranger]

I got my Long Range America tank installed week before last.



During my trip out to Texas for the eclipse I tried to use the trip odometer and MPG numbers to figure out how the reading on the fuel gauge corresponds to the amount in the tank. Here's what I came up with:

Gauge	Gallons
F	more than 26.5
3/4	22.5
1/2	17
1/4	10.5
E	4.5

This is great!

Interesting. The only filling problem I've had is the pump cutting off when it gets to $100 (or $75 in one case). However, I think I've only tried to top up with the gauge above full one time.

I had only used a few gallons and the tank was well above the full mark. I kind of expected it based on how other extended range tanks act. So I just plan on filling when I have used 10 gallons or more.

Keep in mind that these tanks have special overflow valve in the top that are really designed for a slow fill. This means you don't want it on full blast at the pump. The first notch should suffice

I have only filled up once since installing and was wondering what was going on. Was at a new gas station with fast pumps and it clicked off every 5 gallons even on the first notch. Was thinking a breather hose was pinched.
