Tom,

I'd wonder about adding a POLY underbody H2o tank then..  similiar to
the fuel tank idea.
http://www.dansperformanceparts.com/buggy/fuel/buggyfuel1.htm
8"x33" is 8gals. not bad for extra h20.  if you just undercut the
1gal/day 8gal could add 3days capacity.

so under the slider 1 Blue poly 8x33 H20 tank and 1 yellow poly 8x33
Diesel tank..

ideas ideas..  and winter projects.

What is interesting to me about  fuel tank discussions
is that when I am using my Syncro Westie for its
intended purpose - cruising around in the boondocks
and camping- the limiting factor seems to be water,
not fuel or propane.

Two people and a dog - we must go through three
gallons a day, minumum, which means we need more water
every five days. Propane for cooking and the fridge
lasts about three weeks, one week if we use the
Propex.
Gas - its usually pretty easy to find, and with an 18
gallon tank its never been an issue.
