Paul, Metalian makes two x 75L stainless tanks (very compact design) for the newer Metalian (used to be plastic). Why don’t you contact Heinz Modricky and ask him what a set would set you back?

Oh wait, you’re cheap [emoji2957]
Thanks Kurt. I'll look at that as an option. I need to have the additional tank in an area that is strong enough to carry the weight and have it behind the axle.

Henri I bought a 2004 Xplorer in 2006. Were the model with the two 20l containers in the front console.

I ordered a 120l tank which I installed at the back where the later model Xplorer had their tanks fitted. Needed to do some mods to the interior to fit it. Also fitted a dual change over system with two pumps. One for the rear and one for the front tank.
Installed a 80 liter tank in the front console.

Sold the Xplorer 4 years ago will see if I have any old pic`s somewhere.
Thank you for the reply
Seems I need to rip out the 80 l then to do this mod.
Would prefer to look at fitting 2x 40l or 60l into the lesser used compartments under the bed.
Me needs to think.......
Also will wait for some photies.
Cheers

I came across this and asked Nayela to fit as the LED lights on the van gives errors on the Amakrok.
It will be fitted as standard equipment on all Okapi's from now on.

Peter...Rynos is version 5.1.1.

By April 2021 they'll be on version '22.4 revised & updated'... so there's no point in looking at Ryno's...
