Hello, I'm Peter Williams - National Stores Liaison Director for Opposite Lock-Holdings.
I think I can help you with your query.
(I've been messing with Land Rovers continuously since 1971)
The O/L tanks are manufactured by Outback Accessories Australia, for distribution around Australia.
When first released, the D3 tank was 114 litres capacity, but late in 2007 (for MY2008) Land Rover changed the design of the chassis cross member which supports the spare wheel hoist.
As a result the tank was modified and reduced in size to accomodate the factory change. Later in 2007 another small alteration in design was made to facilitate manufacturing.
With the advent of the D4 the tank remained unchanged, but the flow-through transfer pipe kit differs slightly because of a slight change in the rear diff housing shape.
I presently drive a D3 and have done about 150,000K with one of these tanks fitted. It is very easy to live with, and allows an easy Ceduna to Norseman Nullarbor run without fuel stops - even when towing.
I hope you enjoy long distance touring with your D3 and tank. Best wishes, Peter.
