I have an alley one in the rear footwell......72L with pressure pump and a garden type tap on the rear door

I'm on the road at the moment but have a look in my gallery I'm pretty sure I have some pics

It worked a treat for my simpson trip

I have a gal one (67l) behind the cargo barrier, with Flojet pump and tap at passenger side rear door. Used to be in rear footwell when the kids were small.

I have a 40L Stainless Steel Water Tank which came off a mates Disco1.Used for Drinking only..

it sits right on top of Wheel Arch LHS of Cargo area. real beaut of Tank, can send Pics , I think it cost him about $500-$600 to get the Thing Welded up by a Boiler maker / or Sheet metal worker...one of the 2.

I've also got a Flexible 70L Water Tank which Sits in 2nd row on the Floor. I paid $300 or There abouts , well made.

Hi Stan,

I recently aquired a 44 litre food grade plastic tank that fits in the rear (L) quater panel. It's not quite what you're asking about, but worth considering. It frees up cabin space, keeps weight low, uses empty space, easily accessible tap etc...

see the following link:

Otherwise, I've seen some 2nd hand S/S Water tanks (generic rectangular types) on ebay from time to time.

Disco Owner,
Thanks for your reply, yeah I would like to see some of your pics when you get the time.

Thanks for your reply, I looked at your pics, can you tell me how much your set up was? Is yours permantly in place or can you take it out when not needed?

I brought the alley and was lucky enough to have access to a workshop, somewhere between $100 and $150 for the....still have half the sheet left over for other projects

Pressure pump was around $130

Much easier when one had access to a full fab workshop, pan break press, migs, tigs, gillotines

Only two bolts hold the setup in.....it will be a few years before I need to relocate it
