:D   Paul, ive noticed your asking about a fuel tank for you Rangie, so ive asked my mate dpg, who built my bobtailed rangie ( home made fuel tank ) to pass his knowledge on if he can. So far as i know it holds about £30.00 worth and sits were the std tank used to, but because he chopped off 18" of the chassis he had a tank specially made to fit what room was left. The filler is the std rangie one and protudes up from the floor about 1!1/2 . Surouding the filler is a steel lip fixed too floor were a lid was made to cover the filler and then the lid is strapped down. A breither pipe is also fitted near filler and runs in a loop out to the rear of the rangie. Its a nice neat job as well. :D

MK,

I've got a custom made tank now that is fitted in the same place
as the standard tank was, Trouble is the space is limited and it
only hold 5 gallon.... and thats not enough for a days playing. :(

Up on Holme-Moss after work this afternoon as I could see it had snow it on during my journey home.
I'd suggested it to SWMBO when I phoned earlier this morning.
When I walked through the door Amelia, SWMBO,& her parents were waiting with coats & boots on.

I was changed & back in the Discovery within 5minutes :roll:

There wasn't a lot up there, but the summit car-park was full with families sledging on the slopes.
Damn cold up there too, the women sensibly stopped inside a ticking over (& heated!) Discovery.

Just time before dusk for a quick trip into the northern fringes of Derbyshire to make a loop of the trip, heading back through Dunford Bridge (well known to any railway buffs on here for the Woodhead Tunnel)

A simple request from me to try the ford at Penistone on the way home was studiously ignored :cry:


By the Way; the lane to the north-eastern side of Holme-Moss is a nice little trip.
The location made the cover of the current edition of 'Discourse'. Andy has an album of it; 'Greenlaning. Holmfirth, Yorkshire'

Bush Tucker Man:
Looked quite nice up there as the Sun started to set, this is the (roughly) north view overlooking Digley Reservoir & up to Holmfirh, Huddersfield & Emley Moor (where the Yorkshire television mast is)
