The thought of running out of fuel is unsettling, as one wonders whether reaching the nearest fuel station is possible. A long-range tank alleviates this concern, providing confidence that the range is significantly increased and that, barring any seriously remote trips, fuel issues will not arise.
This product has been designed and manufactured by Des Sol, ensuring ease of fitment with a straightforward bolt-on design that requires no chassis modification. A warranty of three years is provided for the tank, while all other accessories, including the exhaust mid-section and protection plate, come with a two-year warranty. See our warranty document for full details. The fitment of this Des Sol-designed OverLander Tank does not necessitate any cutting or modifications to the chassis, as it is a direct bolt-on solution, unlike other long-range tanks available on the market.
The fuel tank is manufactured from Zintex to ensure cleanliness and rust resistance. It is externally coated with epoxy for maximum durability. It can be said that the zinc coating “takes one for the team,” as the zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, extending the lifespan of the tank beyond that of other coating products. This differs significantly from coatings made from materials such as paint or aluminium, where the corroding steel gradually undermines the coating over time, reducing its effectiveness.
The tank features a 12mm UHMW slider plate to protect the underside and prevent snagging or getting hung up. This easily replaceable protection component ensures years of off-road use. The tank is available with an option for a bolt-on middle section for the stock exhaust setup.
What is UHMW?
UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) is an extremely tough plastic known for its high abrasion and wear resistance. The versatility of polyethylene has led to its popularity in countless industrial applications requiring durability, low friction, and chemical resistance. Applications include UHMW wear strips, chain guides, packaging machinery parts, and marine dock fender pads.
Gauge Functioning
A replacement longer float arm has been included to ensure that the gauge operates from full to empty, closely mimicking the original smaller tank. However, as the tank is twice as large, the gauge operation is expected to be magnified by a factor of two. Therefore, if a journey of 50 km was achieved before the needle left the full mark with the original tank, approximately 100 km can now be expected. Similarly, if 50 km could be travelled once the needle hit the empty mark, this distance will also be roughly double that of the OEM.
Range Function
The factory tank capacity of 40 litres is built into the OEM firmware and cannot be modified at this time; therefore, the Range Function will not operate as designed. However, the Range calculation is based on the average fuel consumption and 85% of the OEM tank capacity. Manually doubling the displayed range will provide a rough indication of the expected actual range. All other functions will continue to operate normally.
