RE: Missing Petrol stations
You can get "expedition" fuel tanks for some vehicles. I found one for a Hilux Surf that gave an extra 120 litres, so you'd have 180 in total. BUT, not only was it expensive, they come from Australia, so the postage was more than the thing itself. And it'd be around £250 to fill it up.
But it's not just installing the tank that's an issue. You then have to change the springs as you've completely redistributed the weight (on the Surf anyway) so there are quite a few additional costs involved just in parts, let alone labour (unless you're good with cars).
Then you have the decreased fuel consumption as you're dragging around 3 times the amount of fuel that was originally intended, as well as all your gear.
Anyone know of any 4x4s that come with a fuel tank > 60 litres, as standard?
