Excellent Daniel and Steve
Daniel , is there no way of making it secure and safe below the seat rather than the footwell?
Steve at 700 wide , how was the fit? Are they food grade as Daniel has suggested?
Chandlers have flexible water tanks I used one of these in the rear footwell of the deefer. Used some plastic plumbing bits to install a tap and a approx 40-50mm filling hose with a cap on the end of it like you would find on the gunwhale of a boat.

To my mind a sensible option would be split the capacity into at least two then you can pick up water supplies from two different sources if that happens to be possible ....imagine 160 ltr of foul water and a contaminated bladder to boot ...obviously not an issue in most towns with a safe supply.
That depends on the space you have. In the 130" you put the bladder in that bench under the seat - as suggested in earlier posts. In a 110" you haven't got that box and might struggle to find enough room under the seats. For a 110" you would need to build a false floor in the footwell so that the bladder is secured in place.
Cheers,
Daniel

I looked at flexible tanks, but at the moment I have two child seats strapped to the back seat and it's a PITA to remove them all the time to get access to the seat box. I am after a more permenant solution - set and forget.
There is an Al-ko made watear tank sold by www.camec.com.au that is close to fitting but is 180mm high. I don't want to modify the seat box.
I was even thinking of buying the Al-ko tank and cutting it down and getting it re-welded, but I am not sure the cost of that or if the welding process will be as good as new.
So that is why I am going down this route.
Cheers

Same here.
I do use my water bladder like I would any other water tank. In the past five years I have only taken it out once. I normally just flush it through for 2 mins., which means I let water in and pump it out at the same time.
The water bladder is for me a permanent solution.

Hi
I've got the poly tank and yes they can add baffles. Mine has baffles but I still hear water sloshing. I only really notice it when I drive slowly then stop abruptly. eg: out of driveway and stopping at foot path.
Probably happens more often but I don't notice it over the general noise of the car. It's slightly louder if 1/2 to 3/4 full.
Wow, blast from the past for sure.
The tank from Atlas has been in the rear seat box for over 10 years. Been perfect. No taste issues at all over this time.
The tanks are made from food grade plastic and are baffled. Stood the test of time.
