I run YAWS at activitae.com and despite actively looking for 18 hour TAFS from free sources, they seem not to be available. Remember Avbrief's rudimentary mobile service is complimentary to those that subscribe. (Although I acknowledge that since the url is well known, free-loaders use it too.)
However, it always intrigues me when this question about 18 hour TAFs arises as to what exactly the pilot wants to do. This topic is in a GA forum and the range for most GA aircraft is under 5 hours. This means the pilot will have to land to refuel most likely well within the validity period of the 9 hour TAF. And once landed the pilot can look up fresh data.
So, Fuji Abound, what exactly do you do to actively need 18 hour TAFs, especially given that the Met Office long range F214s are available on YAWS? YAWS is not a product intended for commercial use and there are notices on activitae.com that say 'YAWS is free only for non-commercial pilots'.
Finally, everyone, an easier to remember URL for YAWS these days is the shorter
http://yaws.mobi
Happy flying!
