But... Why the bad editing on the "facility" picture? It's obvious that the signs and lines are edited in....
Why do I have a feeling that Long Range America is owned by a Nigerian Prince?

Close but no cigar. I am a Norwegian prince.

The photo was a mock-up for landlord in lease negotiations regarding signage and parking arrangement. Final as below, with sign on order. Feel free to stop by if you are in Boise - 33 N Phillippi Street.

Very excited to see progress. Thanks
Thanks for the tank conversation, guys. A quick update on development of Long Range Automotive tank for North American Rangers with gasser engines.

After two months, we finally got parts from Ford - evap canister and fuel pump cartridge/sending unit. We are now able to send to Melbourne for development of the tank body to accommodate both petrol components either different or not installed in Aussie diesels.

Will keep you posted. Photos for visual validation that we do, actually, exist! :crackup:

Also, photo of our new facility in Boise.

Sorry for the slow progress, but between Covid and a booming vehicle market, parts were hard to come by.

Should go quickly from this point. Thanks for your interest!

Thank you for the progress pictures! Happy to see forward momentum. I'm getting sick of filling my truck up every 4 days.

Road safety experts and doctors say that everyone should stop every 200 miles to get out of your vehicle and walk around. That is why we spend so much money on rest areas. Rangers can do that easily with the tank that they come with. Only super heroes need larger tanks. And you aint one. LOL ?

If you have a 400 mile range, then every other stop can be at a nice scenic place rather than a filthy gas station.

Or, the real benefit for this tank is people that do lots of towing- 12mpg brings your range down pretty significantly.

Or, 4wd touring stuff where you're trying to avoid detours into populated areas just to fill up with gas.

If You can't personally see the need for a bigger tank, then you don't need one. Doesn't mean there isn't a need for other people.
