Thread: 4 Door Perentie

Rar110 has done the same. He would be the best person to talk to.

Also give WileE a bell - he has one as well.

Before we get to the fuel filler, the Perentie 5 door wagon is designated the "senior commander". Unlike the civilian 5 door wagons, the Perentie senior commander doesn't have the alpine windows above the rear doors. So I would be using the roof of your original 110 hardtop.

Also the Isuzu engined Perentie senior commander has wind up windows on all front doors with the recessed door handles the same as the early 110 models.

Now to the fuel filler, the senior commander uses the same body fittings as the fuel filler on the regular Perentie although fitted to the rear tub behind the "C" pillar. The filler has a pipe plumbed from the filler under the floor to a fitting on the rear of the tank. A tank from a 90 is preferable to the original 110 Perentie tank. You can modify your original tank by removing the top filler, modifying the rear top corner to clear the bodywork of the rear kick panel and moving the filler neck to the rear of the tank below the floor. Your other option is to construct a long range tank, that includes additional capacity under the rear floor and removes the need for the long filler pipe.

Yes for the tank you need to buy a 90 tank and modify it. I'm doing the same for my Senior Commander as the tank is leaking. On mine the tank vent pipe runs up the B pillar and down again, this essentially allows you to drown the car to some depth without water entering the tank back through the vent pipe. Also as it's a nice size vent pipe, you can fill using the high flow diesel pumps on full speed with no issues.

the vent hose is a roll-over anti syphone pipe.
wasnt easy to fit.
but cant see any sencible way to do this.

it had a sock clamped on the end but i think a proper filter would be better.

the tank was modified to lower the filler neck and change the angle.

Hi Inside,

Is it possible for you to elaborate a bit more on where your vent and filler go? How does the vent pipe go up the 'b' pillat? Also where does your filler pipe fun?

Cheers

I can get some pics but wont be for a few days. It'll be easier that way. If you can wait a bit longer I could actually show you the tank out and what it looks like.

All this depends on how original you want to be. There's other options that would work.

OK here's some pics.

Tank filler from outside. I assume it's the same as yours.
