Fuel Tanks

[Pirate]

I reckong the 75 litre tank in the Defender is a joke even though its gets great economy.

What are peoples opinions on the best options for increasing fuel capacity?

Who are the good and bad manufacturers of aftermarket tanks? Anyone who can recommend a good supplier please do.

Are sill tanks worth the effort or just get an increased capacity main tank?

Thanks for any comments in advance

Regards

What do you want to know You can get this from joining a lroc in your state.
There are several manf of after market tanks for land rover defenders or 110 defenders but you can go severall ways the most popular that i do not like is the 130 plus rear after market tank and i do not like it because it put a extra 55 kg to the rear of the diff and reduces the load carring of the vehicle it could tipp or raise the front wheels because of the leaverage of the 55 kg when it is out 3 ft or 900 mm from the diff i like sill tanks whih fit under the vehicle between and add a further 100 ltr tpo the cap of the vehicle wht you do is have a locl mnf measure the tanks for you and then fitt them and have them plumbed and filled from the same filler as the reguler filler

HI Kevin

In relation to Clubs at the last GM of the LROC we were advised that National Parks, State Forests and some private land owners were now locking of properties etc. to give access to Clubs only.

This is because renegate 4WDrivers have been tearing up tracks, paddocks etc and in particular they are only allowing local 4WD clubs access.

That is the point in joining a 4WD Club of your choice. Any Club that is not affilitated with the Association will not be allowed access.

Also Clubs are required to participate in working parties and assist in the maintenance of tracks.

Thanks Kev, finally some one got thru to him, you would think after 20 odd posts ,where each one got the same reply,that he would back off,yes everyone is entitled to there own opinion, but, this is not a notice board for lroc, if he wants to fish for members put a post up saying so and be done with it ,he mite get a better response that way ,rather than waffling on about closing tracks all the time! Anyway,I'm tired of telling him ,so I hope that's the end of it, happy trails ,(if you can find any open :wink: )

A web link has been offered to snailbait a few time's but he has never taken me up on it.

And just so snailbait and every one else know's we dont have a spell check on the site.
Easy way past this is to write your responce in one of your own programs, spell check it and copy it over to here once done.
