Author Message   muskyman Posted on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:15 am:    have to replace the fuel tank in my 94 Disco due to the melted corner. I have patched it a couple times and I'm gonna replace now. anyone know the part # for 3.9 vs 4.0 are they they the same ? can the guts of a 3.9 go into a 4.0 if they arent? thanks all   pk Posted on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:47 am:    Melted? I ain't even going to ask how that happened... I really don't know for sure Musky, but they look identical to me; inside and out. pk   muskyman Posted on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:56 am:    yes melted! chain of events #1 rear AC dripps down on top of resonator #2 resonator rusts out causing a hole pointed straight at the mounting bolt of the stock rear step. #3 bolt heats up and other side of bolt melts a hole in the fuel tank #4 muskyman throws out step and patches tank #5 muskyman patches tank again #6 muskyman decides to replace tank   muskyman Posted on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:58 am:    thanks PK guess I'm gonna go get the 96 tank near me and change it today...guess I'm my own test guy   muskyman Posted on Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 04:44 pm:    test up date!! the fuel tanks on 94,95,96 are the same until mid 1997 model year when they changed to a internal vapor/fuel return from the filler. putting a later one in an early truck looked like a bitch ,although the tank was really similar the fuel fill,breather lines and pump location is slightly moved. hope it helps someone   Dee Cantrell (Discodad) Posted on Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 11:38 pm:    MM the 97 tank looks really weird compared to the one in my RRC that was a simple metal design, got to love that plastic shit...   JEN STOLEN (Rovr4x4) Posted on Wednesday, October 30, 2002 - 11:53 pm:    Yea but Land rover also had a recall on the early metal ones because they would rust out.   Dee Cantrell (Discodad) Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 12:24 am:    I had mine replace a month after a shop charged me 300 to change the filter on the fuel pump...   muskyman Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 03:14 pm:    I had mine replace a month after a shop charged me 300 to change the filter on the fuel pump... dee...i sure hope you sold them the filter!
