Hi all,

For those always on the lookout for new ways to carry water instead of a big can in the back of the vehicle, here's a plan - a water bladder that fits in the rear quarter panel! They have them for 80s, 100s and 120s (no mention of 90s - sorry guys ...)

Check them out here:

FlexiTank

I think I'll try find a price on the 120 ones ... Laughing

Looks like it could be an option, does anybody have any experience with these?

I've seen the 80 one on IH8MUD. The Ausies seem to like them, might be worth asking on there for some feedback.

Did you get one of the same Aussie ones? If so, did you get it in the UK - who did you get it from, because this is one Aussie company that haven't responded quickly, surprisingly ...

I have experience with Flexi tanks (purchased for Morrocan trip). Very well made aussie product which mine holds 70 litres and has 2 taps for ease of access. Mine was originally for a Discovery but was used in a SWB 90 (behind seats). If interested I may sell because lack of work has put a hold on expeditions Sad
