Water bladder to fit under the back seat of a 110 defender

These ones are suitable for drinking water - some other types actually state that their bladders should have "cordial" added - yuck!

There is a 75 litre version for the Defender.

Hmm, a Turtlepac, a length of hose and a hand pump and you're sorted!
Reminds me of one of our members who fitted a big aux tank instead of passenger seats in a D3. Would cure my ULP-related dismal range!

I've just called the Turtles but there's no-one home right now.

On second thoughts: Skip the pump, just connect the hose and stand on the thing!

These are good tanks. I bought one recently for our trip to the Blinman Jambouree, and returning via Innamincka. It is the PW75 version, and it sits nicely on the floor behind the front seats of the Defender.

They do taste a bit "plasticky" initially, but this gradually goes after a few fills. Can thoroughly recommend them!

Cheers,

Lionel

Easy if you use ImageShack. It can resize them when you upload them.

I do have concerns about a bladder laying on the floor behind the front seats. In the event of a rollover, that's 65kg or more of packaged water flying about. It will be just as deadly as 65kg of luggage. It will break your neck.
