Rocket Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi Guys In order to extend the overall Fuel capacity of a V8 90 is it possible to fit an additional fuel tank from a later 90 model? I notice the filler position is at the rear on a TD5 Does this mean the Fuel tank is at the rear too? I may eventually go to LPG and would like to know what options there are for fitting LPG tanks without affecting off road ability or filling the loadspace. It may be that the only practical position for the LPG tank is under the drivers seat instead of the present petrol tank. In which case I would need an additional petrol tank elsewhere. Ideas anyone?

western Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yes, all TD5 90's have a rear mounted tank in a similar location to 110's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 No I don't but at a guess rear tank, weld on some mounts for it and the correct filler neck & associated bits, sender unit, pipes to connect to the filter/fuel pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reads90 Wow just what I'm after! How much of a work up was it? Did anything have to be removed or relocated (exhaust system etc)? What can it hold? Do you transfer from one to the other or switch the supply over to the other tank when the first gets low? Is this a stand LR tank or a special? Have the suppliers got a website or a phone number?

Nick Ninety Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Here's a couple of pics of my build that might help. Fitted a TD5 tank into a 90 chassis. Didn't keep the standard tank. Welded up a couple of extra brackets onto the tank guard to attach it to the chassis. Had to trim some metal from the rear tub support brackets as they were very close to the tank. Little bit of a squeeze to get it in place, but nothing to difficult Moved the filler using a part from a series landy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
