This time I'm going to wait for the reviews.
Also I live in California and carb is requiring these things to be tested.

Likely has been covered in some other post but was there a design reason that they only gave an overlander (the thing that it does best) a range of 350 to 400 miles? Maybe a weight or some other gov restriction?

Only an Ineos insider could answer this with certainly, but it was very likely a weight consideration. Another 16 gallons would have added well over 100 lbs to the wet weight of the vehicle.

Reasonable enough but with a car this heavy, what's another 100lbs:)
At least an option for a long range tank that was integrated into everything else would be handy.
One thing for certain from my observation of comments on this forum, Ineos owners aren't typically worried about weight, height or MPG (Smile)

I completely agree. Given the already high weight of the vehicle quibbling over another 100 pounds is pointless, but OEMs play these games with every model they make. I am just happy to have an aftermarket solution that integrates so cleanly and provides double the fuel capacity.
