Extended Range Fuel Solution for Land Rover Discovery Series II
The LongRanger TR56 130L Replacement Diesel Fuel Tank is engineered specifically for Land Rover Discovery Series II models built from February 1999 to 2005. This premium replacement tank is designed to directly replace the factory fuel tank, providing a substantial increase in fuel capacity for diesel-powered Discovery TD5 vehicles, including those fitted with air suspension.
