Extended range fuel tank

sidicks said:
This article suggests that the extended range (90 litre) fuel tank would be an option on all 992 models:

However, i can't see the option on the configurator - any ideas?!
Thanks

I cannot say for definite but it may be the case that the 90L tank is only available on left-hand-drive cars. I took a look at the German configurator and the 90L tank is a 190 Eur option; it is also available in USA for $230. The fact it is not listed on UK configurator suggests it is not available on LHD cars as presumably, it would require a different tank (LH/RH tanks are different) and Porsche are not interested in marketing here.

That’s certainly been the case for previous generations, but the article suggested it might be different for the UK this time. Looks to be an error in the article, which is a shame, as a long-range tank would be very handy on occasion.
 
There is no part number for a 90L fuel tank in RHD configuration. Obviously, the article was based on their test drive of LHD cars and press packs referred to LHD cars.
 
It's listed as an option on the Spanish website for Euro 217.00. Can't see that it's necessary on anything other than the Turbo which I presume drinks fuel at a quicker rate than a Carrera or Carrera S.
On my Carrera S I reckon on comfortably getting 600 km - 375 , on a tank full.
