bishbosh Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 When I first bobtailed the Rangie I mounted the original plastic tank in the back in a frame with a tool locker along side. This was about as deep as the lower tailgate and filler the back from wheel box to wheel box (I did have a piccie but can't find it now ) This was the cheapest way of getting the job done and was fine until she became a daily driver and space for more than a packet of jaffa cakes was required. So I set out with my trusty tape measure and drew up this: I recon it is about 17 gallons total so probably 16 max useable. Of course, now that she's diseasel that should be plenty . Then the extremely tallented Mr Rogue Vogue set about it with his wand and here's the result: I have to say I am rather pleased with the result! The space created is fantastic and once I mount the spare wheel vertically on the other wheel box I will have a proper load bay again . A really big thank you to Nick for fabricating what is a cracking fuel tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 So far........ baffles are a bit noisy - need some sticky backed carpet to deaden it a bit.... all that slopping about is quite distracting you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltwt1981 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 You'll need a fire wall between you and it. Not sure its an MOT item, but certainly for any MSA competitions. Looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
