    @ Roofy and Ben I got the end out of that small keg, without any damage.
    Being stainless I used the arc welder and burnt the centre out, was still apitb
    Soon I'll have 20ltrs of clean drinking water which wont take up much room.
    Just waiting on a SS socket to TIG to the front for a ball valve

    A SS socket arrived today so I'll get that Tigged on this week.
    then figure out how I'll fill it. think a 2" plug should be ok

    Have a look at the pics I posted. I added a Male hose fitting to the end of the filler hose so I can fit the garden hose straight on. Trying to pour water in without Tap pressure is just Dumb!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Not sure I'll be using the bladder for a few reasons.
    I'll probably end up putting that in my camper and use the plastic Dolium 55ltr on in the Patrol
