Although might have just been old military vehicles.
I had a series 2a military landrover with twin tanks under the seats.
there was a valve below the dash next to the transmission tunnel that switched from tank to tank.
It also switched the tank units over for the petrol gauge.
Found one but they are not cheap.

Weirdly enough, I've had two Series Landies - the non-military IIa *did* have twin tanks, but the ex-military SIII doesn't

My F350 had that, 20gal front tank, 40 gal rear tank. One fuel gauge.

Turns out i cant do it Side mounted exhaust what could be moved but the mount for the rear leaf spring sticks out to far to mount the tank in the space. Not all is lost. LDV are still used and made to an extent in Turkey. Then they are BMC or the likes but i have get a 80lt tank for little money. May not sound a lot but its 16lt more than i can carry just now
