Disco 1 - installing long range tank

Post by **TuffRR** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 6:53 pm

Task for tomorrow is to install the long range fuel tank into my D1. Tis a 300tdi.

The tank is second hand and did not come with any additional fittings. Can anyone confirm if it should just be a straight unbolt old tank and bolt in new? Do i need to gain access through the floor from the top? Does a D1 even have an access hole in the floor like in a classic RR?

Thanks.

I put in a 140lt Brown Davis in my 98 TDI 5dr.
need to remove sender via cargo area.
need to get longer filler. ( the old plastic was longer then the new metal on the tank)just cut mine in half ( over chassis) and inserted a pice of exhaust pipe. A little fidlly to put the tank up to old mounting hole, but did it by myself, with large trolly jack..

I'm pretty sure this is the same as mine. Its a weird design with the wings on the side hanging down underneath the chassis rails. Hopefully it won't cop to much of a pounding but it has certainly decreased my departure angle.
