Reply With QuoteI have fitted a SS unit of 60l under the vehicle where the spare wheel was. I am very happy with it because it's out of the way and being SS the water tasts nice. The tanks is baffled to prevent sloshing and has a breather pipe pulled into the load area to make it dust free. The drain tap is also used to fill the tank using Gardina fittings.
Front runner will be able to get it for you.
Cheers
Fred

water tank
I am looking to fit a water tank under the loadbin of the cruiser
There is sufficient space, can easily fit a 850 (l) x 300(w) x 265 (h) tank, which would by just over 60l
Any suggestions - plastic or stainless? Any idea where I can get a plastic tank or who can make one? Any suggestions on a stainless one? Uys? SarelF?Last edited by Christo Davids; 2011/11/15 at 09:13 PM.

Plastic will be cheaper, but s/s will be best.
There is nothing wrong with the taste of water in a plastic tank. Initially yes, but once you have "run it in" it is fine.LC 78 Troopie 1HD-FTE

Ek sal eerder nog 'n petrol tank opsit as ek jy is!

Unless it is a screw driver.
