I have seen a stainless steel tank custom made i think that sat behind the back seat between the wheel arches it was tapered on the front to fit the seat and vertical at the back maybe 200mm wide at the base and the same height as the seats it fitted behind the drawers but even without drawers would leave the luggage area free dont know what it held looked a good idea
hope this helps Kev

I thought there was plenty of room under GUs? Same as GQ basically along chassis rail under drivers seat to rear seat??

There was a stainless tank on Ebay the other day that fitted over the rear left wheel arch.. Stainless jobby for $400.. 55ltr it was too. It looked good.. maybe see if its up again

I have a wedge shaped one that fits behind the middle seats and infront of cargo barrier :) Stainless off ebay $250 :)

if your putting it inside the car have a look at this [ View Image]from a mate who is gettin into doing storage stuff. The tank can be made to any shape and size, but anything custom will cost more than 'off the shelf'.

The only thing with stainless is it will be lots of $100's for the storage capacity.

You say
" I am over taking water containers it's just taking up space where I can fit more beer"
...a tank inside the car will do the same.

I reckon either Opposite Lock or TJM make one that fits under the passenger's side along the chassis. It was pretty big $$$$ from memory and required a hole to be drilled through the floor behind the back seat (middle row) sort or near the front of the wheel arch, which was for the filler pipe to be located. I think the outlet tap was just forward of the rear wheel.
Too much for me.....I carry a 20 litre jerry between the engel fridge and the cargo barrier (an area that would otherwise be difficult to utilise). That one is "plumbed" in semi permanently with a hose fitting and tap at floor level just inside the back door (near the jack's hidey hole). I can fill this one using the same outlet tap as it has a standard nylex hose male fitting.....and I have a narrow breather hose going from the top filler cap, weaved up through the cargo barrier so that sloshing won't see the water escaping.
I also have removed the plastic bit from the driver's side of the cargo area where you can normally store bottles of wd40 etc. The front portion of this is used to house the barret HF box, but the rear section is where I have a 10 litre water jerry can with a couple of foot of hose and another simple garden irrigation on/off tap.
Hope this helps.

Hi Troll83,

I have a 60 litre tank in the back, very similair to the one posted by Truckster. However, mine is fabricated from 6mm HDPE (type of rigid plastic) and I then built a storage system around it. Click on my rig pic below to see the finished product.

One problem to watch for in under car tanks is the temperature they get to on a hot day. Also the location of taps can be vulnerable. But the trade-off for no lost interior space may be worth it. All depends on your needs I suppose. If you have a cargo barrier and no 3rd row seats, interior may be the way to go. But if standard interior, then under vehicle will save space.

Cheers

Captain

I don't have the rear seats anymore but don't have a cargo barrier. I have enough room if it's just me and my partner going but the moment we have three or four people in the car...room is pretty little with all the gear. I might have to get a roof rack anyway and then I will have room to put the whole shed in
