Fuel Capacity

I currently have a td5 defender with over 200l of fuel capacity, which I have still had to top-up from drums during trips. Before I trade up to Disco 3, does anybody know of a fuel tank upgrade? Looks like there would be space where the spare is currently located. Which leads to my next question...

...does anybody know of a kit to relocate the spare to a rear bar of some sort?

None of the usual Oz manufacturers are advertising anything yet, too busy building kits for Toyotas I suppose!

I have seen some pictures of a swing-away tyre carrier for the rear bumper... It does exists !

But where to find it, I don't know... Confused

As for a additional tank, I have seen nothing so far... Sorry...

British Pacific imports that stuff to the US from Israel... so you might be able to do better from an alternate source.

Apparently Frogs Island may be stocking them in the UK, I've not heard that they are but I'll have a word with JJ next time I see him and find out if they're intending too. Unless you're reading this thread Nick?
