To replace the fuel tank on the Land Rover Defender 90, access the underside of the vehicle near the left rear wheel. Here, near the axle, you will find the various supports that secure the tank to its housing: to remove it, loosen all the bolts that hold these supports.

Once the bolts are removed, you can slide the tank out from the underside of the vehicle. After the tank is removed, you can install a new one by securing it with the appropriate support bolts.
