and specifically,
Any fuel tank or fuel system component must be at least 100mm inboard of the OEM
permanent body work (excluding the filler neck and assembly);
Any sill or wheel arch tank would break this rule, plus there is the need for certification
and
MODIFICATIONS THAT MAY BE CERTIFIED
The following modifications may be performed under the Section LM Codes:
? Fitting an additional or replacement fuel tank and associated componentry;
? Fitting a surge tank;
? Installing a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP Gas) fuel system; and
? Installing a Natural Gas (NG) fuel system.
The design installation and fabrication requirements for all of the above modifications are
contained in sub-section 2 General Requirements and also in the relevant sub-sections 4 and 5.
Note: Codes LM2 and LM3 are not utilised in Queensland
This all started from wondering if sand tracks were considered a protrusion if fitted to the side of a roof rack, doesn't pay to look sometimes.
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
