Water tank

[Mundy]

Has anyone had any experience with procuring and fitting an underbody water tank for a Disco? I'm in Sydney so would prefer to be around here but not necessary. Are there any traps for the inexperienced here?

Thanks
Mundy

I think for underbody you would be hard pressed to get anything better than sill tanks. They are designed for petrol/diesel so I don't think water would be a problem - you just couldn't use second hand ones:o

4wd monthly usually advertises water tanks that can be sill mounted for the Disco. Sorry I don't have an issue handy to get you the retailer details for you. But it is there every issue

90mm PVC pipe can be p clamped to the body work and I think with 4 tube of it you can make a tank that rides outside the chassis bewteen the wheels that holds something like 40l of water....

I got to 30 with a 2 piece tank under big red before I flicked a rock into the prototype and cracked the tap off.

I have some pics of that arrangement. I took them in Cooma in 1998.

Was it yours, Simon?

I'll scan them tomorrow.

No not me. Sadly I've never been Cooma with the LR show, and definately not in 1998 - I was driving a T****a back then. :(

This is a vehicle I nearly bought. The owner is a member of this site and I hope he doesn't mind me uploading this picture, but I think that this idea is pretty clever...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will have to have another closer look at 4wd Monthly. I have been to a few sites who claim to do water tanks but noone seems to have a 'standard' Disco design. Thanks for the pic, too. I don't like the idea of all that weight at the front as the truck wanders a bit already and I think it'd make it worse. Like the bash plate though.

I think I may have to make a custom tank. Would like to see your photos, Ron, if its not too much trouble. Dave, how did you fill and empty the tube tanks in your version?

Cheers

That's not bad and the weight is to the front.
