Long range fuel tank Disco 4

[DISCO 4]

I need to fit additional fuel storage to my Disco 4, anybody done this?

Hi Disco4. Not yet but I am just about there. As you have to relocate the spare to fit the extra tank, the choice of spare wheel carrier becomes part of the process.

There are quite a few options. You can pick up on most under the FAQ's at the head of this channel.

I have pretty much decided to go with the Longranger tank. It is 100 litres or thereabouts. There is a 70 odd litre version with a 20-25 litre water tank epoxied to the top, also available from Longranger. Dolium ( Opposite Lock have most of their stuff ) have a nice tank and guard. Due to the the guard though, you lose a fair bit of fuel capacity. The tank is only 80 odd litres.
Your call. It comes down to how much extra fuel you really want.

The spare wheel carriers are also listed under the FAQ's. They include a Kaymar full bumper setup with twin spare wheel carriers, or a variety of bolt through the bumper single carriers. Yes you have to cut a hole in that nice new bumper.

Have a look around and search for other threads. Almost every option has been fitted by someone out there.

Anybody used Outback Accessories fuel tanks

I have one in my Patrol ( now up for sale ). They work ok, but may not have the finish of the Loneranger or Dolium tank. Nothing wrong with their strength though. Have a talk to your local Opposite Lock store, I think they carry the Outback accessories gear.
I believe it is generally accepted that the D3 and D4 are the same in regard to fitting extra fuel tanks and spare wheel carriers. A lot of threads on the forum on D3 tanks. Some have pics. Do a search.

Chassis is slightly different D3-D4...

Tank manufacturers are modifying them to be universal...

A D3 tank into a D4 hangs low.

A D3 tank into a D4 hangs low.[/Emailed Ric at Longranger yesterday. He believes there is no difference in the chassis mount position for the D3 tanks in the D4.

I am trying to organise supply of a tank at present. If that happens, I will soon know if there is any drama.

Don't forget "Long Range Automotive" 03 97395667.

They do a 110L to suit D3 as a second tank.

Thanks Drover,
I sent of an email to Long Range Automotive as soon as I read your post, still waiting on an answer. I don't need one until late May so no panic YET

Thanks

Long Range Automotive have advised they have a 108 litre tank suitable for the D4

I was advised yesterday by ARB that Long Ranger are currently fitting an auxiliary tank to a D4 and they will confirm when it is finished
