hi if you give www.scorpionracing.co.uk a ring they i belive are making spare fuel tanks and i belive there is a company on the net who do fuel tanks for the rear wings on disco or try www.devon4x4 im sure they would be able to make you one or have a word with a local fabricator can make to measure had a box once made to measure by a local fabricator and it saved me about 150 against a manurfactured one and it had things done to it that others had not it fitted inbetween my air tanks on a volvo globtrotter also had a spare 750 litre secondary fuel tank made up for me and that was also cheaper but had to loose that and about 5000 pounds to a french police fuel and wagon rape was held in court for carrying to much fuel they were just [!Expletive Deleted!] cos at the time i used to round trip spain and buy from either spain or andorra and not from france was alot cheaper .
i would  deffently try a fabricator local to you first if you live near corby i can send you some tell nos but they wiould need to see your disco regards colin
