    Water Tank in Aux Fuel Tank Space.

    I have the spare on a rear bar and was tossing up the idea of insialling a water tank in the space under. Anyone done this and/or is there a certain tank to use. Using a aux fuel tank is too expensive.

    You could easily have something made.

    I would ask what your intended use for it would be?
    I will never drink from a tank on a vehicle.

    We have a Joolca shower and am thinking that when swagging it, a hot shower would be nice for my nav. Also, as a cleanup when fishing. I have a tank under my ute tray and have used it for making a cuppa for years, with no ill effects. Can't see anyone urinating it, the way the filler is set up. John Holmes may have had a chance, I suppose.

    I’m not worried about tampering, just don’t drink it by choice.

    A Simple frame to hold a poly tank that can fit between the rails would suit your needs.

    I think there is a Front Runner tank designed to fit on the passenger side. The Expedition Centre or APT may stock them.
    Boab also have a range of poly water tanks. Not sure if they are what you want.

    I think the idea is good but for the cost you could just a plastic jerry or poly tank that sits behind the rear seats ( wedge shaped ).

    Not on a Disco Mick. There’s exhaust there.

    Yes, that's true. There are a range of tanks available in various shapes.
    I've gone off fitting extra water tanks into a vehicle because of the extra cost, compared with just carrying drums.
    I scored six free 20 litre cube-shaped drums used to supply purified water to laboratories. I just park them on the floor in the vehicle as needed. Being cubes, they are less likely to roll over than tall drums.

    I was looking at the diesel version of this 50l water tank for the cargo area behind the seats. Fits nicely and I like that I can pull it out when not in use...

    Hadn't quite worked out the fixing of it but thought a combination of a strap from the child seat anchors in the back of the seats and maybe a strap down the gap between the (folded 3rd row) seats to hold it down to the seat or seat belt frame... I used a similar method for my fridge slide.

    Just food for thought

    I transfer this 85L water bladder between vehicles as required. It sits just nice in the rear passenger footwells. They make a bunch of other sizes and shapes too.

    Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.
