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

Visit an ARB or good camping store.They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.There are also rigid plastic types that sit upright behind the seats.

I bought (about 9 years ago) an Opposite Lock one. At the time it was the only one available and has proved very good. There's ARB, OL, TJM, and everyone else now selling these though.

If I was replacing it I'd go for a rigid container rather than the bladder though.

good morning, i have used truck tire tubes to carry water in, low cost, robust.

have fun

Others suppliers include ships' chandlers, e.g Whitworths, Bias Boating, etc. - brand name TurtlePac (made in Currumbin).

They also do flexible diesel and petrol tanks. See http://www.turtlepac.com/

Watch the length of the bladder, an LROC member went from D1 to Defender, & found the bladder wouldn't swap over, too long.

I run an Opposite Lock 58 litre ( I think!) job, South African made.

Do you get a rubbery tast from them?

Thanks for the info guys.

The one I had was used plenty of times before I got it and I used to fill it with a food grade hose so there was no plastic taste. The owner told me when he got it, it did have a plastic taste but he washed it out with bi carb a few times and the taste went away.

The only problem I found was that if it got air in it you could not fully fill it up when under the seat. This meant having to suck the air out on a slope. Great job for getting the head to spin.
