Reserve tap

[busman]

My 109 s2 had twin fuel tanks when I got it but rear one was rusty inside so since been removed. This tap was mounted on the front of the seat box, just curious if its a landrover part or off something else? I pretty sure the PO added the extra tank.

It's a military changeover switch. Generally 2 tanks under the front seats with that switch connecting them.
Standard on military series.

An option for civilian, a series 3 that i acquired from a friend was originally bought to do long journeys for his work in Africa and South America and had twin under seat tanks with external fillers. My ex mil 2A had twin with under seat fillers. Slightly different mounting brackets for the switch. Both were 88".

That looks like it could be a standard diverter valve not the LR military one. The good news is it may not leak, the bad news is you may not be able to sell it for £100
