footwell water bladder

Doc
Ours had a taste. The water slushes around, the noise bothered us. When cornering the water rushes to the side opposite your turning.
They are easy to fill and empty in situ (infact hard to do any other way) and yes gravity is good enough.
Ours did not have a transmission hump so cannot comment on that one.

Doc, I've had a Fleximake 100 litre bladder in the floor well of my Prado since 2012. It's been fine for me. I had a another brand for 5 years prior to that but that was only 50 litres. I just use Mr Gravity to pour it out. I have a short water grade tube on the end to assist filling of containers. In terms of taste I can't say I've noticed.

It's quite robust and bends itself around whatever you wish.

All I do is "strerilise" it before I go away with Miltons tablets.

Been good for me over those years. I would buy another.

regards
Garth

G'day Doc,

we've had a fleximate 60 litre custom made bladder, with a hose, for a few years now.
We use it for our secondary water storage. If we get a chance to fill up aren't 100 % sure of the water we put it in this one.
We had it custom made to fit around / between other stuff in our Landcruiser foot well.
Very tough and works well.
Gravity fed.

We have have a 100L in the footwell of the 80series since 2013. Purchased it via ebay from a company in Victoria, owned by Indians.
Also purchased a custom 40L that lives in a homemade box on top of the rear draws for cooking.
Fantastic product!
The 100L bladder is robust enough to have my 120w solar panel resting on it whilst travelling.
You do have to give the bladders a few really good flushes prior to using it to get rid of any taste of residue from factory. All hose and tap fittings that come with the bladders are the same as the garden fittings found at Bunnings.
Still no leaks after 3 years.

I've had one from ARB for 10/13 years and use it as a secondary water supply and as a means of refilling tanks. I don't know who made it but have it reliable and only had one problem when I piled stuff on top it forced water out of the filler which it not normally a problem. All gravity most of the time but I do have a pump set up for creek/spring filling which is not normally needed.

Kind regards

You can get the poly solid tank then you can put anything on top very strong .Moulded to the hump.

Not sure if you know these rear footwell water (and diesel) tanks are available, but might be worth a look.

I have their 58lt tank in the back of the Ranger, and a very tough unit.
With the footwell unit, younger kids can rest their feet on it.
