Has anyone fitted an auxiliary fuel tank to their RRS? I was pottering around under my car looking at spots that may be suitable. The obvious spot is the spare wheel well and I assume a D3 tank would fit there but then you have to sort out what to do with the spare. If the exhaust was changed there would probably be a spot for about 60 litres beside the main tank on the passenger side of the car but I assume that there is not even a D3 tank for this location.

I'd also be interested in a solution.

When swapping wheels around yesterday I had a good look around the wheel well (who designed the spare arrangement that means you have to lower the wheel to put air in it - but I digress).

You need to use a 3rd party listing site such as Photobucket. You put your pic on that site and then it will give you a range of links for listing gear - copy the link for forums and paste the link in your post on this site. Before posting look at the preview to check all is Ok then post.

\ Thanks - it is good to see someone making some stuff for the RRS. However I don't think a spare wheel carrier will look right. Don't look good on a RR classic or a P38 - but does look good on a Disco. Garry 07MY RRS TDV6 Arctic Frost Aspen Interior |

Not sure about the 4x4 Intelligence carrier, but with the Opposite Lock version (for the D4) you can remove the arm when not in use, leaving just a small stub protruding from the bumper and the latch. Might help with the aesthetics?
