HCPU Fuel Tank
Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:46 pm
Hi
My fuel tank was totally dry Of fuel and looks like a new Land Rover part when chassis was replaced. However with sitting empty for years it’s holed.
I bought a 599234 tank bearmach which has a sticker that says it’s a c type on it. It doesn’t fit!
Is there a difference between 599234 suffix c diesel tank and 599234 post ‘72 fuel tank - from looking on line they appear to be different prices and can be ordered separately depending where you look (I.e. same vendor has both tanks listed as Differing options)
The pocket for the chassis rail seems to be in the wrong place, the mounting point front and rear don’t match the chassis properly and the filler neck is at slightly wrong angle compared to the LR one I removed.
Is there any uniqueness to the hi-cap fuel tank.
I’ve cut the tank mountings to try and make it fit but it’s just not right. I’ll use it to repair the original tank at some point in future but if I buy another tank at moment want to make sure I get something that fits.
Any support or guidance much appreciated
