62lt fuel tank for under rear seats in a 130

[towe0609]

Hi All,

Anyone got one of these?

Defender 130 Aux Tank 62Lt - Dolium Pty Ltd

Seems like a good option for me as my side steps would interfere with mulgo tanks, and the ute tray would interfere with replacing the regular tank with a longranger.

Are there other options for tanks under rear seat. The space under the rear sears will be hard to get to with child seats in the back - so this seems like a good place for fuel.

I would happily go for jerry cans, but my camper set up means the only place they could be stored is at the very back of a 2.1m camper box and I don't want the weight hanging over the back.

Any thoughts?

A few of us with 130's are looking to do similar for water. Check this thread here Dual-cab Defender 130 water tank - dimensions?

Whilst the solution we're looking at is only poly, not metal, it should come in under half the price of the Dolium version. I'm pretty sure they could make one suitable for diesel. Let me know if you're interested. The more buyers, the cheaper it gets!

I'd be interested in a quote for a fuel friendly version if you guys are doing a group buy

I was looking at them but do you fill it by opening the back door or from outside?,I don't want the cab filling with diesel fumes every time I fill it. Pat

Are you still intersted in an Atlas tank like we're getting?

Thats a LOT of coin to spend on water cartage. We stored 60 ltrs in bladders in the seat box when crossing the AB last year. Never had a leak issue and also had room for the odd spare part as well. But if expencive shiny kit gets your freak on go for it !.

Bond - looks to me like the Dolium and Frontrunner products are the same thing.

Ranga - I am interested if you could do a fuel specific version - I don't need water storage - I already have 320ltr on board with my ex CFA tray! Would it be same arrangement as per Bonds link (ie. remove box, fit tank, replace box, filler from side of vehicle, drain to rear). There would need to be a drain point to the rear to gravity feed into the existing fuel tank to meet my needs - otherwise I think I'll either visit the fabricator, or buy a dollium despite the harsh price ticket.

What brand, cost and dimensions were your bladder? The only ones I've seen won't fit, and are bloody expensive.
