That will give a nice range, can't go wrong with any of the popular Long Range tanks these days.

Will be looking forward to following the install

Funny how I earlier mentioned about transfer pump failure - mine just died last week Its one of the facet type pumps pictured below, and has only lasted around 2yrs. When I first brought the disco the transfer pump was dead - same type and I replaced it with the same because they are cheap. Stupidly for me I also replaced it in the same location that it was previously, behind and above the rear diff where I cant get to with the tank in place. Im not going to bother removing the tank this time as the new pump will be able to pull diesel through the old pump no problems. And Im not putting in one of those again, going with an aeroflow black rotary pump and it will be installed somewhere nice and easy to get to.........

Shane - contact them and get the newer, sealed style...

Not sure why you'd struggle to R&R the pump with the tank IN-SITU, I just throw the Disco in Extended and under I go

Sealed. And much better..

2 years isn't that long,guessing the diesel is harder to pump than petrol.Have you accidently left it running dry???

Well, new pump is already ordered so I wont be getting another one. I've definatly got no chance of getting my hands up to where my pump is, I've tried several times - first time I mainly had to remove the tank because I had no idea where the transfer pump was installed.

I would have expected longer, was never left to run dry, although it did a couple of times but never for extended periods of time

Just watch the fuel flow with that Aero pump..
May just splash around the inlet and send a heap back into the rear tank.

Even the solid state ones splash around a bit..
