Well after 3 months I finally finished this little project

After fitting the gas tank on the drivers side I was going to get a tank custom made for the passenger side. But this tank came up for a 5th of the price it would have cost to have one made.

Lots of pics.

Firstly you need:

Tank filler plumbed (I plan on having a guard folded up for this, the false floor hides the top of the tank)

Pre filter plumbed

Fuel lines hooked up to the engine supply lines

Reverse polarity relay (required to be able to use an on-off switch, rather than using an on-off-on switch)

And lastly the filler cap fitted with standard Defender locking cap

All done, I can now understand why ARB sting so much to make these things up :p

I plan on having another tank made up that will sit in the well between the mudguards. One day .....

Any questions sing out
