Hi we are thinking about putting an extra fuel tank into our d3 to extend its range when we head off on our world travels. Does anyone have any experience of fitting one in the spare wheel space?

Long range tank here http://www.lrparts.net/vehicle/discovery-3...tanks.html
Site Sponsers Duckworths used to do a long range tank fitment for D3, not sure if that is still the case though.
Most likley to be our Down under cousins who can provide more info on this mod, probably because they can afford to fill it up  D4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST

Thanks for that, we want to take the truck to South America and the diesel stops are few and far between.

I'm currently having a frontrunner tank fitted. We've fitted a fuel gauge, foam baffling and changed the way it operates by fitting a BMW low pressure pump to directly feed the engine (via a switch). Should be complete next week.
I won't be getting the car until 20 Mar as it's having the work done in the UK while I was away. Can take pictures etc then if required/interested. D3 SE with Hankook MT 275/65/R18, IID BT Tool, ProSpeed rock/tree sliders + compressor guard, RLD sump guard & winch tray + 13,000lb hidden winch, Gearbox guard, Frontrunner 80l aux tank with fuel gauge, V8 brake upgrade, Traxide USI-160 dual battery system, Frontrunner ladder, custom boot storage, Lazer LED driving lights, de-cat exhaust, Aftermarket Oro TPMS, i7 Mac Mini touch screen install (running Windows 10) mirrored on rear screens.
