Did you find a way to put your long range in with the EAS? I have a long range tank sitting in the shed that I would like to use if I can but I will not remove the EAS.

Fitting a long range tank would appear to be a lottery, with anything up to 120L potentially fitting without affecting EAS, but??? The one I looked at was just too close to call without actually trying to fit it, and yes would have required a mod to the sway bar. Has since been sold, so back to square 1. I do have the luxury of 1 x 45L sill tank, plus a 28L version for water.

But how does it affect the eas?
I didn't think it would, nor can I see how ie no different to loading up the rear, and no need to relocate any EAS parts. Suggestion otherwise may have been posted by another as I recall?
I'm still on the lookout for a larger tank that will fit as a replacement without any other mods, but guess I should be happy with 95L in D2 main and 45L in sill with TD5 fuel pump in sill tank to transfer to main tank (takes about 20 - 30 mins if I recall).

I have 120 in the back and 45 each sill in my LSE, but i don't run eas, so i could remove the eas pump from under the sill.
Swaybars i just dropped the mounts 50mm and moved them forward.
What I meant was, if fitting a long range tank while keeping EAS meant modifying the sway bar, sway bar mounts or any other components that would effect the operation of the EAS, was that I would prefer to not fit a long range tank. I don't have a LSE and I want to keep the EAS so as far as I am aware, fitting sill tanks without a lot of modification is not possible.
Do you recall what type/brand of long range tank that was Gavin? Looking at the one I have and looking under the car makes me think mine would fit but it looks very close. I'm quite sure the access hatch in the boot floor will also become irrelevant for the long range.
120L long range tank will fit if you lower the sway bar mounts. 1 sill tank will fit, the other won't due to the eas compressor, unless you move it.
Sorry don't know the model. Was sold by a member on here some months ago.
As noted, I have a 45L sill fuel tank on the LHS? (filler opposite side to the normal fuel entry point in the rear wheel well, and a 28L water tank on the other side - also filled via the wheel well - I guess to take advantage of the ability to EAS lift the body out of the way for refilling access. Which, without me being near to the car to check, suggests a smaller tank on the RHS water side to overcome having to move EAS stuff. I'll double check locations next time I visit Bessie (QE II luxobarge)
Cheers Gavin
