Homemade water tanks.
If you can get some sheet plastic the same as used in plastic plumbing pipes
then the sovent they use to join the pipes would give you a waterproof seal on the tank seams. Backyard Renegade ) writes: Hey folks, Scotty here. What I am planning is some custom water tanks and such to be made to fit inbetween two bulkheads. They will hold water for washing hands and such, not necessarily drinking water. Any suggestions as to what material and what adhesive/connectors to use to keep it watertight? I was thinking some of that bathroom wall material they sell at Home Depot, but would I use some kind of silicone, pvc cement, or would I have to weld it, and if so, how? Thanks for the input, Scotty -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |

just got posted a couple days ago. The author is fairly well respected over there. Drew Dalgleish Riveted aluminum fuel tanks are smart. They're easy to build and superbly practical for the homebuilder since she can make them in whatever shape she needs... SNIP ...For lo-buck builders, riveted, sealed and sloshed fuel tanks are a practical alternative to other methods of fabrication, their use so common we tend to forget others may not have heard of them. -R.S.Hoover PS - The ?xx' in the JCW item numbers is different for each catalog but the basic number stays the same.

I have bookmarked the website for premade tanks and will take it into consideration, especially if I need a grey water tank! However, I am a tinkerer so I will probably get some new tools and fool with the other methods mentioned here too. By next year, most of my livingspace furniture should be either Aluminum or PVC... the wife should be thrilled, lot's of "ashtrays" in the beginning I suppose. Gosh, I love buying new tools! ;) Scotty from SmallBoats.com |
