Default drinking water tank

Can I make a potable water tank with FG/epoxy or does it need to be
lined w/ something? I have an odd space I'd like to store water in and
an not sure of the need for a liner. If I need one, any ideas of how
to make an odd shape that can still be accessed for the occational
cleaning? Thanks, Kevin


Kevin, unless you're planning a very large tank, it might be almost as
cheap and a LOT easer to drop in a plastic tank. Check the Ronco
Plastics catalog http://www.ronco-plastics.com They make top quality
tanks for a very reasonable price, and have more than 400 shapes and
sizes to choose from, over 100 of which are non-rectangular.

Alternatively, there's a company in ME called Triple M Plastics who
makes custom welded plastic (PP) tanks for a very reasonable price. I
don't have any personal experience with 'em, but several people on a
couple of the email lists I'm on have bought tanks from 'em and are very
pleased with both the price and quality. They don't seem to have a
working website...I was able to pull a phone number: (207)985-4705
Fax: (207)985-8012

Just a couple of suggestions...
