Thread: Low profile spare fluid storage (e.g. in a 110).

Brake fluid and ATF small 1L jugs tuck nicely in that nook at the rear door.

4L oil jug and a 4L coolant jug sliding around in the rear foot well.

Bit messy when the oil tips over and the lid comes off but I guess that is just called rust preventation...

Would be keen to hear ideas too! I did like one picture I saw where the owner made a small hinged compartment in the undersill space beneath the passenger front seat box but above chassis rail height...
I have a water tank passenger side and 22L air tank drivers side - still a good option though some compartment outside the vehicle.

Caravan under floor water tank or these people. They are made here in Bundy, but all the 4wd outlets (ARB, TJM, etc.) sell thier range I believe.

Just to clarify, I am talking about 5L of engine oil and 5L of gear oil, etc...
the smallest tank I could find on that link was about 60L!!!

Cut and build a storage space behind rear tyre well
(Where those dolium? Tanks go)
Under seat boxes both sides
(Batts and sill tanks spoil this)
Between rear seat and cargo barrier
Seal bottles properly and lie them down in a rear draw
I should probably follow my advice as well

Usually in a milk crate that floats around the tray

Watching with interest too

I use the 1 litre containers left over from Penrite coolant. They're rectangular and stack well. I refill and relabel them, and then they stack neatly in a marine battery box, 6 along one side and two length ways to fill the narrow gap. All the bottles are upright and the box will contain any spills. There's room to lay a Tom Thump oil pump across the top, it screws into these bottles. I wrap the pump in a couple of socks to soak oil drips and keep it safe.

Because of the indentations in the lid of the battery box, it doesn't quite sit square with the tops of the bottles, but I just use a small cheapo bungy strap to hold the lid on.

I would rather something even snugger in it's fit, but this still allows me to store on top of it. It's light, strong and oil proof. It lives behind the cargo barrier in a recess on top of the wheel arch formed by the fridge compartment (in a 110).

Mine are all in a milk crate in the back seat foot well, but the best idea I have seen, and now I can't find who posted it, was to cut the driver's side front mudguard out and fit a chequerplate lid, gave quite a useful space, the lid was secured by the bonnet.
