internal tank

[C368MOO]

hi all,
does anyone know the regulations for having an in ternal tank and getting through an MOT??
do i need a fire wall?? how does it need to be strapped down???

im thinking about using a plastic marine tank, strapping it down to the floor/rollcage behind the driver/passenger seat in the SJ, with the filler hose running to just behind the drivers door, moving the old filler cap too.

these are the tanks i was thinking about using:

Make sure it is bolted to the floor, and there is a line to atmosphere (usually a small breather line)

Mine pased mot no probs, but scrutineers at the trials can be a bit iffy...

mine is just is bolted in the back with no fire wall or anything and it went through the mot alright also so do my diesel pipes run through the cab too

all the best

I've know a Defender whose diesel tank was 6 jerry cans piped together sitting where the passenger seat used to be, and that was road legal.
