Spoke with Brown Davis this afternoon, they don't do a replacement tank for Puma, only 70L auxiliary under drivers side. He said they don't hang down and is a push button electric feed to the main tank.

So they don't do this one anymore?

I was under the impression it would fit a Puma as a replacement...

Hmmm...sorry that didn't work.

Do a search for LDER4 in Google...

This.

And the replacement tanks appear to hang down a long way, although it may not be as big an issue as it appears.

I don't drive particularly hard and it's a lot less if I'm towing the camper. Camper touring gets me ~ 850-900 km per tank. But in fairness thats topped up to the brim. I,ll get about 100 km before it even starts to register the needle starting to move when full to the brim.

If you do get one check want size and shape it is. Mine is 130 litres and 'wraps' under the rear chassis member affectivly covering the right hand rear anti roll bar chassis mount. 75mm spacer or not you can't bolt up a rear anti roll bar.

Apparently not, he said they don't do it due to so many variations in towbars, and they don't fit with the standard LR Towbar.

I have a Longranger fitted to the 130 (was already there) complete with anti roll bar.

Same tank as on my 110. Hayman Reese towbar is only compatible with this. not Land Rover towbar.

I have a long ranger sill tank fitted to my Tdi, nominal around 75 litres. You loose the under seat (drivers) cubby, and have to remove the seat and lid to fill, but I've never really found it to be a problem. Fuel sender to the tank has never really worked properly, but I dont think thats a 'tank' problem.

Hangs down to chassis level, I don't think I've ever hit it though.
