Thread: long range tank

Had a Long Ranger 80litre in my defender for 7 years now, no issues at all (other than a minor, but very inconvenient problem right at the start).
You do lose the drivers underseat storage though. It looks like it hangs down a long way in the pic but never been a problem.

Hi Loubrey - Sorry I'm a bit late to reply (I've been away enjoying the fruits of my labour)... I've got both auxiliary tanks installed in my 90, both filled from the Mulgo Y-Filler. Daniel installed a stainless junction box in the driver's rear wheel arch which then splits to the two auxiliary tanks. The hose to the passenger tank sits nicely in the gap between the chassis rail and the body.

See this post for some photos. I can send you more details if you require. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php?p=2276418

Filling is mostly easy. Occasionally it gets stuck if you're on a slope whilst filling but a good jiggle helps (wobble the Defender as well).

Thank you very much for that. I'll have to get hold of Daniel and see if he'll do me one of those custom splitter box jobbies.

One more photo if you get a chance... a pic or two showing the pipe that turns left's route through the chassis please? From the photo I can make out that one goes to the RHS tank and it looks like a 90 degree elbow or something to turn left and go to the LHS tanks?

Cheers,

Lou

Does anyone know if it is possible to still buy the 70l tank that goes under the rear passenger seats in the 130? I have seen it on build threads from years ago and thinking about one.

I already have sill tanks on either side. One Fuel and the other Water. With the heavy canopy on the back. I would prefer to spread my weight over the middle of the car than replace the rear factory tank at the moment.

Here are the photos of the dual filler set up on a D 90. The Y filler is sold by Mulgo with the tanks and the fit out was done by Rijidij
