Water tank for GU 3.0TD

Flexy Tanks get good wraps on Patrol list, nobody seems to have a problem

the stainless ones seem to be priced more than a new F40 Ferrari in my eyes

Johnno.
I've got the gu also and had a bit of a squessy the other day at these quarter panels and there doesn't seem to be a lot of room in there, especially for water bladders. Mind you, I didn't remove the lining so I could be wrong. I would be interested to see what you come up with as I've been scratching my head also thinking where I could put water on board and that we had kids also and no space inside. I bought a 2kg fire extinguisher the other day for the 4by, just in case, but its a nightmare to think where to fit the damm thing without being in the road. I reckon these designers go to a lot of trouble to make it difficult for us to fit accessories.
The only thing I've come up with so far is to replace the sub tank with a 60-70 lt and make that the water tank and replace the main tank with a 160lt. Although thats an expensive exercise and I don't have the $$ for it at the moment.

I HAVE HAD 4 PATROLS INCLUDING THE CURRENT 3.0 LT MODEL.
ALL HAVE HAD ALUMINUIM WATER TANKS MADE AND INSTALLED SOMEWHERE.
EITHER UNDER OR INSIDE.
I HAVE NOW REMOVED THE TANK AND HAVE REVERTED TO PLASTIC JERRY CANS.
THE PROBLEM WITH TANKS WHEN OUTBACK TOURING IS THE CROSS CONTAMINATION OF DIFFERENT SUPPLIES.
THIS WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON OUR LAST TRIP TO ARNHEM LAND,WHERE THE TANK BECAME CONTAMINATED AND WE HAD NO OTHER CONTAINERS.
I NOW HAVE A SINGLE JERRY MOUNTED INSIDE THE REAR DOOR WITH A C/VAN HAND PUMP INSTALLED,THIS DOES FOR WEEKEND TRIPS.
A COUPLE MORE TAKEN WHEN REQUIRED.

Johnno , I have a water bladder in the L/H rear quarter of My GU ,Alls Good
Just got to be careful filling and ensure you have a top quality tap.

Johnno howd y go with a decision on the water ??
I don't have the kids problem these days so have lots of space. SS tanks cost a motza. Aluminium - don't know but probably still a motza. You need to contain and protect the Floatpac type but they seem good value comparatively. For the moment (we leave in 3 weeks) I might buy some extra 20L blue water bottles from Wollies, carry them empty until required then fill to what I need. You can take them out when you get back. I'll probably strap them together and sit them low for safety.

good luck PalCarpe Diem
