UdderlyOffroad Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Nope! Mounting is totally different, and a bit of a headache. Doesn't mean it can't be done, you need to figure out some bracketry, and possibly get the tie down strap from the TD5 and tie that into the chassis. I would give you more details, but I'm currently halfway through doing it on my 1989 110, a project which is currently on hiatus due to life getting in the way. Also you'd need a 300 Tdi ROW fuel pump (WQB100440, actually just a pickup) and they ain't cheap. Long story short: If you're doing a complete rebuild, and it's a rolling chassis, go for it. You'll get the benefits of a plastic tank, and the possibility to upgrade to a TD5 (or other engine requiring a HP fuel pump) at a later date should you wish. If you're just replacing a leaky tank on an otherwise working truck, pick up a OEM spec replacement tank. Study the parts catalogues to get an idea of what's involved: TDI: http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=759314&SPRACHE=EN TD5: http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=759422&SPRACHE=EN#5 HTH Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn668 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That allbrit website is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That allbrit website is pretty good. Isn’t it! Usually have it on screen on an old laptop in my garage to refer to! Back to the OP’s question, since found this build thread on Def2 – there’s some pictures on pages 2 and 3 showing the fuel tank mounting. I think the poster was a member on here a while back (Defender300tdi), looks like he’s moved to Oz. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic31926-30.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
