BAMBMAMIsugested the gas tank option earlier ,would be ideal for
water tank original test pressure was 3.3 mpa ,if you under stand metrics , some said today thats about 1500 psi ,i think that should be enough to hold water!! stainless right shape light easy to mount. check wreckers lpg instaling

DMECH,
how do you go about cleaning them sufficiently for drinking water or are they only for washing up? I have a 9kg bottle which I cut in half(long ways) to make a small BBQ. After a very exhaustive wash and steaming it out for about 5 houre(fringe benifit of work), it still stunk of LPG. In the interest of my own safety(considering the strong odour), I pumped a continuous flow of argon into it while I cut it to reduce the chance of it doing anything nasty. I have cooked on it several times and if you put your face close enough, you can still smell the LPG.

blue . dont know about getting smell out of tank most peaple that got tanks from use for washing only . these tanks are made of good quality s/steel they unlike steel may be impervious to gas , you might have to talk to a chemist, must be somthing to get rit of chemical agent that is used in the gas , this agent is put into the gas so that it can be smelt in the event of a leak cant remember what the chemical is , would have to look up books .
