Yep- the Police V8's and Statesman V8's & V6's had them- i put a VQ Stato long range tank into my 1993 VR Executive, and later added the trip computer/ dash from a VR Calais (with some wiriing mods). Used to get around 700km from a mildly worked 3.8lt NA, and once twin turbo+ stroked, only lost 100km-ish per tank. Had to modify the straps a bit from memory, i repainted the tank black and did the straps in like an Asteroid Silver- with the Aquamarine paint on the car it looked really nice from the rear
