I think most wrap them in some sort of protective layer as a double skin.Quote:

My 70l tank mounted middle of the car stays nice and cool even when 40 degrees. It's raises a bit but only like your normal tap water would.
All hardware is ordered now to wait.
Why not get a bladder that fits on the cargo barrier or is real estate at a premium,
That 55ltr bladder is made to go on the floor in the passenger area, very robust indeed
They are double skinned and made from a very tough rip stop canvas/plastic fabric
Thanks for the reply Westy and Threedogs. I have found that having a 2 litre bottle of water gets quite warm during summer and not very refreshing if it`s in the drivers / passengers door pockets, so a quarter panel bladder be the same.
I have thought of the 55 ltr bladder Threedogs and thought of the quarter panel section be a good area to utilise for extra water storage as well as the 55 ltr bladder on the floor. I was thinking the last thing I need was a rust repair job years down the track caused by an option for extra water storage. Just thought of casting the net out there for thoughts from others.
Plenty of ways to store water, store brought items like bladders and tanks be it blow moulded or stainless.
Give Roofy a PM he had one custom made as did Cuppa I think..
Yea I custom made mine to fit between middle seats and draws.
75ltr capacity..
WOW nice size tank Kallen got a pic please if not too much trouble
being central well thought out as well
All hardware arrived today the plastic Deck fill I needed to grind to fit into the top but it screwed in nice and tight.
the tap is awesome better than what I thought it would be, so now I have 20 litres of safe drinking water.
Very happy with the final result
Edit;; I siliconed in the top plastic filler'
Hindsight and I have that in spades being
gravity feed I maybe should have used a 1" ball cock
instead of 3/4".
Once the silicon is dry I'll see if I can pressurise it
with a few pounds of air
I'm contemplating using one of these cargo barrier hanging ones,

They come in all shapes and sizes and you can get it custom or simply change outlets as required.
I like that one nice and low and looks easy enough to get water from, you could fill that via the rear sliding window too
There is a triangular 55 ltr tank that straps to the cargo barrier, you run the hose along the floor to the rear doors and
fill via sliding rear windows
90% of the Cargo Barrier Hanging Water Bladders exceed the Barrier manuf specs and Aust Standards.
IMHO if you want a bladder the floor pan style is the go.
Just sayin' is all...
