Hi all, just got a cheap old freelander, but needs a tank, it's a 1.8 petrol, will a td4 tank fit? Thanks in advance, Neil.

The part numbers are different and the pipe arrangements are too.
What can go wrong with a fuel tank?

Bizzare one really, 3/8 extension bar unseen on dark road bounced up and holed tank, can't upload photo at moment

That is bazaar. You'll need to find the correct tank though.

I think this must be a ploy by the Association of Land Rover Parts Companies to boost business. Your fuel tank, @Skinny Mike brakes - they're putting all sorts down on the roads to break bits!

Hope you picked up the extension bar, might need it to replace tank

The offending item
And the damage
what is the tank guard made of by the way? It came apart like a piece of damp chipboard

Sorry to mither again, but my vehicle is a V plate (99?) 5 door, will a later year model or a 3 door tank be the same?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Looks like chipboard after over 10 years - but the carrier should be steel
eBay is a good source of reasonably-priced replacements.

Thanks for all the replies, I've got this sorted now. Got a tank off a facelifted 3 door. While the tank is physically the same, i had to swap the fuel sender over. The pipes are all different and had to be made to fit.
