I have spoken with various people about increasing the tank size of the Iveco and know that there are computer issues with measuring the increased volume of diesel. I have a friend with a 26 foot Alpine and they seem to manage OK but I'm not sure if they carry additional fuel in storage containers. We have started carrying an additional 10 litres and will probably increase that to 20 shortly. I would also be concerned about the GVM with adding more fuel. I believe that a litre of diesel weight about 800g. Is an option a couple of 20 litre jerry cans? Would be a lot cheaper than replacing / adding a tank. Cheers John Hi Geoff

I wanted a 200 l tank & although Isuzu say they can do it the cost is $2800, which seems a bit much. Do you know of any alternative fuel tank supplier/fitter - preferably near melbourne, but not necessarily so. Winnebago agents don't want to know about it! hope you can help geof I am looking to put a larger fuel tank in my Alpine 26 – at present supposed to hold 125litres.
