Caryl Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 What dimensions are the tanks? Would they be suitable for use as a sump? I am looking for something that will fit under a tank and rather than glass, am thinking along the lines of stock troughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 steve - count me in for a 150L or 200L (whatever fits in my boot!!!) will bring the horse and cart around when you get back from Fiji to check it fits. The containers I have now are crap - NSW and metal car panels dont mix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetskisteve Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Great 4 storing NSW, I try to keep one full that has sat for a couple of months- good for emergencies. or...a freshwater top up barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 will a 200l fit in my boot??? if not ill take a 100 (assuming it'll fit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskisteve Posted June 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 i think the 200L should, yr boot is pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 how do you fill them up??? at a boat ramp or somthing? liftin 150KG of water into the boot would be a bit of a push and then from the car into the house is there some kind of pump you use/buy for it? how much$$$?? distance from car to tank that they can pump to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 take a 10 or 20 litre bucket - thats what i do. just back the car down the boat ramp and walk back and forth about 10 times! i wouldnt do it when there are boats there though, the oil from the motors just dont do wonders for your tank.

Ira Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hmmm, I hadn't thought of that, I don't think the 200 will fit in my boot. I don't think I'd want to try and take it to the ocean itself to collect water anyway, probably just dump the water into it at home. Dunno how I'd manage to lift a 400lb+ container out of the boot anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
