Thread: BCF Water tank

Stick with the jerry cans. Much easier to fill/use and can be carried nearly anywhere.

Said tanks are generally useful only if mounted vertically ...e.g. behind rear seat squab or at the side of the rear compartment for example...

I haven't had a look at the tank but from the pic on the BCF site, I was wondering if you are looking at the filler. Does the tank have mouldings to fit an outlet on one of several places?

That picture looks like the tank in my camper trailer. If so it is upside down and the outlets are the two small bosses which are at the bottom. The big boss is usually the inlet.

There is provision for a vent on the centre of the top, but in mine there is no room and the vent is just a screw in brass fitting on the top of the end.
On a second look there are a couple of bosses on the sides of that one either of which could also be outlets, so it is a bit different to mine. They usually have material in the hole , so you drill out the one you want to use. The outlets in most camper/caravan tanks are 13MM stubs for normal size hose.

agree with phillip above, more suited to the camper trailer with a hand pump for extracting the water.

I thought it was upside down, too.
