I have just installed a Safari Equip long range main and wing tank to my 95 Disco 1.
I have added a full write up with piccies here:

Just in case anyone is interested.

Interesting. How much fuel can you carry now? I take it the tank isit'sown tank guard, but why do you need so much fuel on board, are you going on a trip somewhere.

nice disco though ;)

As I put in the article; I put 160 litres in before I stopped. Unfortunately the breather pipes are too short so I daren't fill it to the brim until i have extended them. But 160 is fairly reasonable :D
We are traveling to the Sahara in Tunisia next year and we hope to do some more trips in the future.
The bottom of the tank is a bit low. It sits at about halfway down the rear diff which is the same drop as the front steering guard.
There is always a compromise with these things. I don't intend to do any extreme stuff with the car any more although I did take it through a bit of mud the next day and it performed okay. I shall probably look at getting a 90 for more mud-plugging.
I do intend visiting a local fab shop to see if he can make up a tank guard though
