I've fitted L&R sill tanks on a customer's D90 with the Mulgo split filler. You can fill all three tanks from the one filler point. I found the drivers side sill tank slower to fill than the main tank and the passenger side tank was slower again to fill, not painfully slow, just slower than the other tanks. The problem is with the plumbing as the filler hose for the sill tanks has to go over the rear spring which limits the fall from the filler.
You can see the new hose in this pic, also the splitter to the two sill tanks.

I suspect if the breather points aren't done right it might make things slow, but mine is full speed for either/any tank. 42 litres in the passengers side sill tank (actually 40 in the tank and 2 in the hose going across), 40 litres in the drivers side sill tank and then 60 litres in the standard tank.

Also +1 on the service and quality of goods from Daniel at Mulgo. A real pleasure to deal with.

Thanks, JayBoRover.

I can confirm that the trick to get the tanks filling properly is to have the breather lines installed correctly (ie no ups and downs, just gradually going up to where you join into the main breather at the filler.

Daniel (aka Mulgo)

This fuel capacity increase is cool.
So plug and play, not major mods.
Definitely an important option.

Also, it appears that current model 90, as opposed to my 1991 model does not have handles on the A Pillars to assist driver and front passenger in getting in.
Does anyone know where to get these?

That's right, as long as you have the double neck filler, there's no drilling holes in panels etc, everything just bolts up to existing holes and chassis outriggers.

Thanks, we have been exchanging emails.
I've ordered your wheel mount....

All others, thanks for your comments, I've now had the 90 for a week and love it.
I will post pics as soon as I work out how to do that!
