i was wondering how hard it is to get hold of a mini moke export tank??
how do you conect it up to van for a second tank???




cheers damian

Very hard to get hold of!

I had one, intended as a second tank for my Moke. I sold it a few months back on the Moke forum. It went very quickly.

Apparently it's the same as an Austin-Healey Sprite, so you may have more luck finding one that way.

As to fitting to a van, I don't know of anyone who has actually done it yet, but it looks easy enough.

As an alternative to the export Moke/Austin Health Sprite tank, a Morris Minor/1000 fuel tank could be used.
I fitted a Minor tank to an export Moke in the mid 80's as the original tank was rotten. Length wise Minor tank is good, but a little narrower. A strip from the tank to the body was all that was required to mount. Had to also muck about with the fuel filler as it is on the opposite side. A bit of exhaust pipe bent up did the trick. This shouldn't be a problem if intended as second tank for a van.
