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:
The tank

The gauge

(Thanks to bee utey)
The filler

The pre filter

The diverter valve

Now comes the fun parts
Fitting sender to tank:
Gasket cut

Hole cut and sender fitted

Hole cut in Landy

Tank fitted to Landy

Pre filter mounted
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1060.jpg
Gauge and built in transfer switch fitted
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1061.jpg
Note. top gauge is diesel, bottom gauge is LPG
Diverter fitted
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1062.jpg
Tank filler plumbed (I plan on having a guard folded up for this, the false floor hides the top of the tank)
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1063.jpg
Pre filter plumbed
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1064.jpg
Fuel lines hooked up to the engine supply lines
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1065.jpg
Reverse polarity relay (required to be able to use an on-off switch, rather than using an on-off-on switch)
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1066.jpg
And lastly the filler cap fitted with standard Defender locking cap
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/04/1067.jpg
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
