Fittng a water tank to the cruiser

Hi Trevor,

15 litres wont go far, then there's all the fiddling to clamp it in, plumb it and the possibly of cracking due heat.

Have a look here there maybe be something you can adapt.

15 litres in some PVC pipe, and thru a Twine heat exchange for some warm water for dinner..?

Whats wrong with gasing up some boiling hot water out of a 20 litre jerry for cooking the veges and washing the dishes..?

If your serious about carrying water, do some more googling, 15 litres is enough to cook, wash up and have a shower..1 night.

for an idea, have a look at this link (scroll to the bottom of the page) http://www.thelongranger.com.au/100serieslongrangefueltank.html but i warn you they aren't cheap!!! (which is why i don't own one)

In my gu patrol there is enough space between the outer metal skin and the inner lining over the rear passenger wheelarch to install a 20 litre water bladder made by a company called floatpac.Totally secure never had a puncture or contamination.Totally hidden takes up no storage space,they make them for many vehicles.

Thanks for the replies so far.
Most of you have questioned the size of the tank (which I would like to go bigger if I can), I only want something big enough for the kids to wash their hands under befour getting back in the car or maybe rinse a few dishes and then top it up again that night, by running it through the twine into a bucket it would make it a bit more plesant in winter and that way it would avoid carrying gas around, also handy on total fire ban days.
I we are staying for a few days in the one spot we would then have our trailer with us which has it's own bigger tank.

Gooday,
Have a look here, regret you will have to type it in but they have a variety.

Not sure about how to mount the pipe under a LC80, but you'll defs need to make a decent shield to protect the pipe and the fittings, otherwise it'll get busted in no time from stones thrown up underneath. You might be able to run the shield from the chassis rail to under the sill panel, or to your running board brackets. You can get brackets for the pipe (Bunnings, et al) but they're not very strong. They're OK for securing a pipe to a wall but that's about it. If I was gonna do it I'd make it out of stainless steel tube with end caps welded on (the ends). Then you can also integrate the brackets into the tank, and you could even weld on some standoffs to attach your shield.

I had a PVC pipe across the front of my old camper trailer to store annexe poles. 1st detour off the bitumen and it was broken in seconds. So basically, it turned out to be a WOFTAM.

Good luck
