Extended Fuel Cell

Anyone done this to a Disco II here? I'm looking toincrease the driving range from 300 Miles on the main fuel cell. One tank is just not cutting it for City/Highway driving.

Thanks Thomas

No real room, too many state regs. against doing it and the extra weight would just lower your MPG.

There are larger gas tanks for the Disco, butunless you are driving across Antartica it isint worth the time, money or hassle.
You would be better off carring Jerry cans with you.

Thanks for the fast response! But I have a way I want to set this rover up to maximize space etc. So I will check the EU boards in the mean time and see what I can find I know this option is availble I just need to find it.

That would be great I was on a trip this weekend and would have had to change my route if
I had been in my Disco to fillup,, I was in my car and went 375 miles from the last fuel back to refuel.
Fuel can on the roof would not be a option.
