Additional fuel tank (petrol) in boot...

[7795]

Gentlemen,

Where to start?!

I'm collecting a FFRR on Saturday and I would like to get an additional c.80-100L tank in the boot of the car.

We will own the car and plan to do so for the next 5 years minimum. Ideally, I would like it to be fitted and carpeted so it stays in keeping with the car. Also, if possible, I would like to use the existing fuel filler and not start drilling holes!

Has anyone done this or can anyone recommend a good place to start?

LPG conversions for the L322 use the internal spare wheel well as somewhere to site a tank. No idea if this space could also be used for petrol.
The standard tank is already a pretty good shape in how it uses the underside space, but there might be enough real-estate under there between the sills and transmission tunnel to fit something extra.

I'd imagine you could easily co-opt an LPG tank to the job of holding petrol.

They're available in loads of sizes, are enormously strong, and safe to have 'inside the car' as long as they're properly fitted.

Thanks all. Emailing the LPG and off-roading guys. It looks like spare wheel space is the better solution but let's see what comes back...!
