Might not be of help. I have the Big Countryone here is South Africa. The guy pointed out the differences between Big Country and Frontrunner. Frontrunner is 45l and thus it's too far out (Too much volume). Rubbing happens on the wheels. His tank is 40 l but also the side exposed is arched, not straight. My 2CW.

To fit one of these tanks to puma with plastic main,do you have to drill a hole for what is called a balance pipe.From what I have read,on metal tanks (TD5) you use the drain plug.

I'm not keen to make a hole in my main tank. Neutral Puma 110 SW

I have not had one fitted, but belive that no holes are drilled into your tank, they connect it via the breather pipe on your old tank.

They do connect via breather for vapour breathing,but for the tank to empty,there is a balance pipe.On the older steel TD5 tanks they linked via the drain plug.I do not know if ther is a change on the plastis tank. Confused Puma 110 SW
