    Long Range tanks

    This might have been covered before, but i could not find the exact answer i was after.

    As you might be aware, My Tank has died. its half the size it should be and its weaping, i think the re-pressure-isationionionion will split it, so i'm leaving it as it is (hey it has better clearence at this time)

    So i've been ringing around to get a replacement tank.
    2nd hand are about $200-250 (standard)

    New is $ forget it.

    So i'm thinking put the $$ towards a long range replacement tank.

    I'm after a Non-Wing model, ie does not wrap around the chassis.
    Who has what and what did you pay?

    Prices so far.
    Long ranger tank 130 litre (wings) $886
    4WD systems tank 130 litre (wings) $689
    Discovery auto WA $110 (no wings) $....... dont ask i think he mis quoted. I'm going to ask again in 1 week to see if he gives the same price. Its Cheap... too Cheap.
    Why dont i have some $$ when i need it. Bugger Bugger Bugger Bugger bugger bugger bugger

    OK so who has what and any complaints?

    Steve
    Fender with a 30 litre tank..... Broke until my house settles... Ahhhh

    Have you tried BrownDavis ?
    They are at 47 Holloway Dve Bayswater Phone number 97628722
    Made up mine for the 84 RR, very big on the R&D side of things
    Ford and GMH use them in the design of their new models :roll:

    will a 2003 defender tank fit?

    im planning on a long range tank for mine so any dollars i get for the stocker will help reduce the cost of the new one i guess.

    problem is i am in sydney and there is the cost of freight again.
