Ratel-X Industries® Lightweight Aluminium Fuel Tank Guard
Precision engineered and manufactured in the UK, the Ratel-X Industries® Lightweight Aluminium Fuel Tank Guard provides robust protection for your Land Rover Discovery 2's vulnerable fuel tank while significantly reducing weight compared with our heavy-duty steel version.
Manufactured from 5.0 mm marine-grade 5000 series aluminium, this lightweight tank guard combines excellent corrosion resistance with impressive strength and durability, making it an ideal choice for off-road and expedition vehicles where reducing weight is important.
The carefully designed construction provides protection to the fuel tank beneath the rear of your Discovery without adding unnecessary weight. At approximately 6.2 kg, the aluminium version is around 66% lighter than our 18 kg steel tank guard, saving approximately 11.8 kg of vehicle weight.
Fitting is straightforward, with no drilling required. The guard utilises the Discovery 2's existing mounting points, allowing it to be securely fitted without permanent modification to the vehicle.
