Thread: Slab water tanks

I made an ally tank for my previous defer there sat in the foot well, it was perfect when the kids were young.

From memory it was 65L

Hi W&KO

That would ideal I guess as you could put weight on it too without any significant protection but unfortunately probably way outside of my budget.

We won’t be using the rear seats so could remove them if there is a benefit which might provide for a wider (low profile) unit.

Have you considered using a water bladder instead of hard tanks?

Hi trout1105

I have, but haven’t seen any in SuperCheap or BCF. Mind you I haven’t specifically looked for them. Is this something you have used?

I haven't used them myself but they have been discussed on this forum before and the consensus was that they are a good option when space is at a premium
Personally I carry 6x 30l plastic containers of water with me on remote trips, The beuty with these is that you can remove the plug at the bottom of the container and fit an ordinary garden tap on it to make dispensing the water conveniant and easy.

Yes some quick googling this morning seems to support that view. There seem to be plenty of options as well. Thanks for the tip

Curious.... What was the Water Capacity of that particular Tank>

Personally I've run 3x20ltr Plastic Jerries in line behind each other in the cargo area with a hose out through the lid and just use gravity - to date it's worked a treat but having that weight much lower would be a benefit

I spotted this one in SuperCheap the other day and have seen similar in BCF




Looking for something that I could connect to an external tap (gravity fed) and a pump for showers etc.

I haven’t measured the space yet.

Be keen to see what solutions others have others have used. What problems have been faced and how have you overcome them? How did you secure the tank…

Cheers Simon

It says 95l on the label on the tank in the OP's image
