Switch - Fuel Tank Tap is an electrical switch used to operate the fuel tap selection on Land Rover Series I, Series II, Series IIA, and Series III vehicles equipped with a twin fuel tank system.

The switch is mounted in the cab and allows the driver to select between the main and auxiliary fuel tanks by actuating the fuel tap valve. It forms part of the fuel system control circuit, working in conjunction with the dual-tank fuel tap to manage fuel supply to the carburettor or injection system from either tank.

Frequently asked questions

What does the fuel tank tap switch do?
The fuel tank tap switch lets the driver select between the main and auxiliary tanks on a twin fuel tank Land Rover. It's a cab-mounted electrical switch that operates the fuel changeover, controlling which tank feeds the engine. It's a Lucas switch fitted to Series and Defender twin-tank vehicles.
Which Land Rover models use this twin tank switch?
This switch fits Land Rover Series I, II, IIA and III, plus the Defender (1987-2006), where a twin fuel tank system is fitted. It's only relevant to vehicles with the dual-tank changeover setup, so confirm yours has twin tanks before ordering rather than a single-tank layout.
Where is the fuel changeover switch mounted?
The fuel changeover switch mounts in the cab within the driver's reach, so the tank can be switched on the move. It forms part of the fuel system control circuit and works with the dual-tank fuel tap to direct supply from either the main or auxiliary tank.
How do I know if I need this switch?
You need this switch only if your Land Rover has the twin fuel tank changeover system. Check for a second tank and an existing cab switch that selects between tanks. On single-tank Series or Defender vehicles this part doesn't apply, so verify your fuel system layout first.
