According to LRA's website, they are all the same for the wagons from 1998. So I reckon your safe.

as long as its a GU one, you will be ok

my long range tank came out of a 4.5 petty
a bit of a mess around to get the original tank gauge to work.......... but it did in the end

Well worth the effort though. It's probably the best upgrade I've done on my tb48. I use it every time I fine the car ;)

So that should be a 70ltr stropp? Would it bolt straight in and use the same sender and plumbing?

yes it will fit
yes the sender should work (mine the petty ones have different wiring for the sender units so had to modify that)
all the plumbing fits........

just not a lot of room between the tank and the chassis - a few barked knuckles

Yes it will use the same sender I think its negitive off when empty.
Dont rely on the gauge too much the first half of tank is a bit iffy.
I have the Brown Davis 75ltr Aux tank, my range is about 1100 now I would think

You just bend the sender unit's dip stick arm John to suit the deeper tank. Mines sitting here and was supposed to go in before this monday when we go away. But it still needs a inside clean, a fair bit of surface rust in it, and I don't have time to do it. Just wondering how long it will take to do the remove and refit.

not long if you remember to remove the flap inside the back r/h wheel arch to get at the filler pipe
and the cap covering the sender unit and depends on whether your got a hoist or crawling around on the floor

Yes and its negitive off when empty I wouldn't rely on the accuracy of the gauge after 1/2 tank mine is not bad
Took Kev and the boys a bit over an hour to fit with a hoist

How did you with the Install sr06? I picked up a tank today and it looks the same as yours and am looking for any tips. Did it bolt straight in?
