Wheels89 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I am looking at buying a 1988 Defender truck and want to import to US . Does anybody know if double fuel tanks in the truck is standard or if this was added after market There is a tank under passenger seat that's not hooked up and a new one that was installed in the rear They both have fill caps on passenger side of bed one in back and on near cab . Owner does not if its standard . Does any one know if this is level to import to US or is this a Safety Violation ? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 That set up was on an 87 110 I had mine was done by special vehicles it had the standard rear filler plus a series filler just behind the door. So yes it is possible it came from the factory but it could also be retro fitted easily and I suspect US import may not like it unless you can prove it was special vehicles given how strict they've got lately.

Chicken Drumstick Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Are we talking Ninety or One Ten? Rear tanks on 90's are late models only, NAS and TD5 spec chassis. BTW - there is no such thing as a 1988 Defender. The Defender model didn't come out until the 200Tdi and disc rear axle was launched (1990-91 irrc). I know it's a trend to call all Ninety's and One Tens "Defenders", but it's wrong. The change that happened with the 200Tdi introduction was as fundamental as going from Series 2 to 2A or to Series 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 .... and disc rear axle was launched (1990-91 irrc). If you are going to nitpick about people's terminology, perhaps you should first know what you are talking about....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
