Thread: Help to ID a td5 long range tank

Manufacturer is Brown Davis, and capacity is around 130L by my calcs.

Turns out there's no way it will fit, so either the later defenders had quite a different chassis around the fuel tank than my County does, or the tank is actually a D2 one

Anyone shed some light????






Sorry about the photo orientation in the last one...

Don't know the answer, but if its for a D2a, I'd be interested

I just fitted an Long Ranger to my Defender TD5 and the mounts looked exactly the same.
I would suspect that it is a LDER4 Tank at 130 Litres.

Most definately not from a Disco.

This is Disco2 main tank replacement - different mounts, pump location etc.

I would also say a defender although the rear fixings are different from a longranger.

Thanks all. I've just found a photo on the web of a Long Range Automotive td5 defender tank and the front mount looks just like my photos.

Bugger - that will teach me to assume the earlier diesels and the td5 have the same tank mounts
