    water tank options for D3

    Hi I can find plenty of postings about auxiliary fuel tanks but nothing about water tanks? Any recommendations? I am kitting out an 07 HSE Diesel for camping, and have a Dolium windcheatah roofrack + rear wheel carrier. Water is the next challenge.....

    Either TJM or ARB had a collapsible bladder suitable for water which could fit behind the front seats.

    Check out Dolium for their range of poly water tanks, lotsa people get the ones that fit against the cargo barrier.

    That is a neat tank and I would still like to have one. However I tried one in my D3 a few years ago and couldn't live with the noise of the water sloshing around. Have you done anything to reduce this, or do you just live with it?

    I ended up using a bladder which sits between the rear seat and cargo barrier.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Perfect, just what I had in mind. No problems with taste or bacteria?

    Cheers,

    I don't notice the sloshing in my 10L container when its over the back but certainly do when it occasionally gets moved to behind the front passenger seat.

    Nope to both counts - I use Milton's baby bottle cleaner every now and then - mix up the appropriate strength and leave it in a full tank for a day and then empty it out - if it's good enough for babies bottles it's good enough for me Our Products | Milton

    cheers
