Hello,
 I'm not sure if this as been posted, I am new, so I apologize if it has.

Recently, a leak was found in the diesel fuel tank of my 3.1 Diesel 1993 [K] Isuzu Trooper 3dr SWB.

I have found one or two stockists, both quoting over £250.
Cash is a bit low at the moment due to Christmas & floods, and at the moment I cannot afford that.

I am looking for a cheaper tank, reasonable quickly. I live in the middle of nowhere, and without a car, you are stuck.

Does anyone have any links to cheaper sites, or know where I can get one?
I live 15 miles outside Carlisle, and don't really want to travel any further than 3 miles away.

Thanks,
Peter

Thank you all for the links.
I managed to track someone down from the local paper who is selling the whole vehicle for £50!

The engines blown, but it should provide me with some spares.

Thanks,
Peter
