I believe that they are available and that they are fitted to the ofside rear in front of the the rear wheel, also they are around 45l capacity. I am a mechanic and am able to fit it myself, however has anybody any info on where to buy one.........?

Thanks

Thanks for that........

Range of retailers but Dolium are the importers (see Dolium Pty Ltd).

Is the Opposite loss, one a full replacement tank, just wondered a i am looking for a 130 tank..

I was also looking to fit an auxiliary tank into a 130. For simplicity of fitting and not needing a transfer pump, I had a look at the Dolium 62l item.
Has anyone fitted one of these? Does it leak fumes into the cabin? And,is that the filler that would require the rear door opened to fill through a separate filler neck?

Why not send off an email to Dolium? Indeed, why not ask them if they can supply you with a copy of the fitting instructions? I have found them very helpful. That said, the parts photo shown at Defender 130 Aux Tank 62Lt - Dolium Pty Ltd seems to show an external filler that presumably would go next to the door and look something like this one on my D90:

Another site to look at:-
Defender1999 ON TD5

Or this one but they do not sell direct to the public. When I contacted them they kindly replied with info.

Under my Puma 130 tray I have fitted a Poly RV 130 litre tank and a pump which pumps into the standard tank means I have 205l capacity. There are many different shaped tanks it might be worth checking them out.
