    Water Tanks.

    I was wanting to put in some water tanks, I don't have ACE or SLS so I have quite a bit of room up under each side of the car, does anyone make water tanks to go in these positions?

    I have fitted an LRA sill tank (fuel) fitted to the R/H side of my D2 & am very happy with it. it has done the CSR 1 & 1/2 times with no dramas.
    Off road equipment are the WA dealers for them.

    PM me if you want to have a look before you buy one.

    $900 a side... How would you set up a water pump to get water out to the rear of the car? Are 12 volt water pumps costly? Best to see a auto electrician? Thanks for the help Slunnie...

    wouldn' tit be better to get a couple of water bladders and lay them where you want when your going on a trip and when trip over remove them car avoids all the hassles of tainted stale water in permanent tanks and reduces weight on vehicle

    SOmone here has a thread showing where they have welded caps onto a length of stainless pipe, and filled it with water, then mounted them beside the chassis rails. **** loads cheaper than 900 per side.

    See if I can find it.

    Edit: Found it....Bundalene.....bloody good idea

    Hey Aaron.
    Do you intend using your D2 as a 2 seater whilst touring/FISHING????
    If so Phil633 uses a bladder on the floor of the backseats in his D2.Much like a large wine cask bladder.

    Hi Andrew and cartm58,

    Yep thats the idea! I have seen the bladders and I like them I was thinking that to get the water away under the car would save some room however it is exsie! I like the idea of the S/S pipe Hamish however I am not too good on the welder I think it is beyond my capabilities! (and I have no shed)

    Will have to think about it some more but thanks for the input all!

    Water containers

    Aaron,
    when I did the CSR in July this year I put 6 square 10 Litre plastic water containers across the floor behind the front seats. is a snug fit with the rear seats out & you can have a tap on each outer one so access to the water is easy & they can be rotated once empty & easy to grab if you have to take water away from the car in a hurry.

    Roger
