Fuel Tank
Hello,
is anybody here, who has changed the fuel tank (for what ever reason)?
thinking about ordering a new evoque (SD4 9speed auto) and selling my SI4.
i was wondering if i could put a "petrol tank" (70 liters) into the SD4 (diesel's have only 58 liters).
is that a plug and play job or is there more to be done ?
thx for advice/tips

RE: Fuel Tank
I would have thought that if a 70 litre tank could be fitted in the space then LR would have done so - happy to be proved wrong

RE: Fuel Tank
I think and it's just a guess that the fuel tank will fit.
I think the evoque sd4 has the smaller tank to keep the weight and co2 down, the si4 engine is lighter uses more fuel and hence it has a bigger fuel tank, the fuel pumps could be different though.

RE: Fuel Tank
As modern tanks are plastic and seem to be moulded around the shape of the underside of the car ?I doubt it would fit
