Adam001 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hey, I am in the process of getting ideas together for a twin tank conversion in order to effectively run vegetable oil or any mix of it. I think I have decided the best way to do it is to have a second tank for diesel with a pollak 6 port to split the tanks so I can start and stop on diesel and run on veg with a series of fuel heaters. So I need another tank to hold the non-mixed diesel. So history aside...can I fit a 90 fuel tank to a 110? seems a simple solution and would mean I can easily fit a gauge and a guard. There is nothing non standard on the RHS underside of my vehicle apart from rock sliders. Pictures would be good also cheers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I have a 90 tank under the drivers seat on my LPG 110. I made the front mount out of angle but these are available for about £25 and at the back with two 40mm spacers the tank bolted back onto the outrigger. Mine is a station wagon so I have a filler under the seat series style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antony110 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I brought a new 90 tank to do this and the correct land rover metal work that comes of the chassis, The plan was to use a series filler, which fits to the tub. I also brought on the advise of my local LR specialist that also fits lpg kits, a couple of lpg/petrol switch over valves really cheap. when connected the fuel gague will change to which ever tank is turned on. However I then brought a 110 for spares that had a extra long range tank fitted under the drivers seat which also filled up in that position the same as the series military vechiles. If you can find one of these I think it would be the best option, I have seen them on Ebay and they are genuine land rover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Mines a CSW aswell, so what is the best option for the filler? can I do this with all land rover parts? possibly including the change over equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land rover did a long range tank si would imagine they did switch over gear as well, there is a parts request section on here under the forums> might be worth putting in a request on there for part numbers. In the pass I have seen them for sale on Ebay., i think the best option for the filler is to have it mounted directly on to the tank so its directly under the drivers seat.

Adam001 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I have heard that 90 tanks don't fit CSW as the rear seat floor profile inhibits their fitment? Looking to carry this out relatively soon, so any advice would be great Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 My Camel is a station wagon and has the under-driver-seat tank (as they all did I think) and there are no issues. It fills from the top. You remove the driver seat base and metal plate to access it. It'll be a Land Rover part. I'm sure someone with more experience will know if the tanks are a different shape or the same.

Bowie69 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 If it fills from the top (under the seat), doesn't that make it a military fuel tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ok so perhaps I want a military 110 station wagon tank...i'll ask on the part number section. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ok so perhaps I want a military 110 station wagon tank...i'll ask on the part number section. Cheers see my reply , it's a Civilian 110SW part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I am doing the same thing. The proper Defender long range tank is obsolete and I cannot find one anywhere. I am using a Series Military one from Bearmach who have a few, no one else seems to have any. I don't have the part number to hand, but I should be able to get it next week.

Adam001 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 I am not fussed as to what I use or the capacity, so long as it fits and does the job. How much is the series tank? do let me know though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Blandchards did do these on e-bay a while ago-I found this on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NRC-7040-Defender-110-auxillary-fuel-tank-genuine-/140039052902?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item209afa5e66#ht_1404wt_1137 HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Certainly not spending £180 odd on a fuel tank Is there anything wrong with just welding something up? All I want is a 20L box haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 What about this or similar to get welded up somewhere? http://www.safari-equip.co.uk/index.php?page=76 or look at this? http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php/157069-second-fuel-tank-on-Defender-110-td5-4-doors/page2 HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hmm I need a aux tank not a extender tank may have a new plan if LR parts don't work fit these parts... 33L fuel tank £65 Deck filling kit £16 Filler cap £19 then when I find more cash... Electric sendor and gauge If I do that I should be able to fit the full conversion for less than £200, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks90 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 why not just use an old gas bottle and make some brackets up to hold it in place? Certainly strong enough for the application and readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Are you using that for veg oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
