They must have some different sizes Gordon. Mine was supposed to be 90 but have put 105 in it.....based on how much I put in less the factory tank size.

But departure is slightly better than when the tyre was underneath.

Have not yet given it a good smack, but will no doubt one day.

The Brown Davis does not affect the departure angle, it's higher than the old spare tyre on departure. Where it does hang down is the flat on the bottom which is up about 70 mm from the exhaust lowest point and 30mm above the diffs lowest point. Yes it is a big flat area that may be prone to hitting but the risk is something I am willing to take as I need the maximum range for this trip and will be also carrying 40ltrs in Jerry cans.

Only the Dolium stainless steel tank is 80lts, the Outback tank is 109lts.

Baz.

Um, yes - it's made by Dolium, but (at least over here) you can only buy it through Opposite Lock.
