This is why I love KZread. You get great unthought idea without snooping through other people's gear. Lol ok I have 2x30L square water containers from bunnings, and will now use this syphon method and I'll have the overflow/breather running out from under the canopy with a tap (mud, water crossings) then I can bury them at the back. Also putting a fuel float sensor so I can see the water level.

@philg24683 жыл бұрын
Been using that system for over 20 years and agree with you its the best way. On desert trips I carry up to 120L of water in jerrys, and use two of the hoses - one for the best drinking water and the other with bore water or whatever I pick up along the way - so I can separate the good water from not so good. For the breather in the cap, just drill a 1mm hole - small enough to let air in but not big enough to leak. And I like the blue coloured Willow jerrys - have the same large cap as yours but the jerry is transparent enough to see how much water is left. Helps heaps when you refill the jerrys inside the car. And a trigger pistol works best for me - can work it single handed. And instead of hose clamps I find cable ties are a smooth clamp if using the barbed irrigation fittings. A jagged cut on the tip of the hose inside the jerry also stops it sucking against the wall of the container. Cheers

A good idea that suits your needs perfectly Tim. I had the same annoyance for years with lugging jerrycans in and out (and also those silly little taps at the bottom that break off) so came up with a similar but different method that suits any shape jerrycan with a large screw top. Blanked off the bottom hole, purchased a caravan sink pump for $10 at a camping show, used a hole saw to cut the correct sized hole in the centre of the large cap and screwed up the plastic hex nut on the underside. Went to Bunnings and got 600mm of the appropriate sized clear plastic food grade tube and forced it onto the bottom of the pump and screwed the lid back on. The tube reaches right to the bottom and now I can pump out water as needed and get almost all that is in the jerrycan before having to pull it out and refill. So far the plastic tube has stayed on for around 2 years with no clamp.True I don't have a hose with tap like you but I find this works extremely well and may be of interest to those who watch this video.

Nice one Batesy. Hitherto I have used the bottom feeding tap as you highlighted, I have a secure storage wrack setup so theres little chance the tap could ever break off in transit and If it did the bulk of the water would be captured in the secure wrack. I also carry a second jerry without a tap. Your way is a great way to go. On a side not, lately I've been cooking up Kippers on the camp grill whilst up the river. If you like healthy smoked fish for brekkie, few buttered slices on the side you can't go wrong. In Woolies fish freezer next to most fish counters. From Scotland these ones are but they are cheap and lovely alternative to eggs and bacon.

60ltr collapsable tank behind passenger seat in foot well. Seat does not need to be moved forward and can still recline. Weight is low (stable) and conforms to shape of area it is situated and therefore doesn’t become a missile upon sudden breaking. Easy fill via outlet hose that has conventional small brass garden tap with lever (important so you can stop fill quickly at unit and not overfill). Braided hose (tough and doesn’t kink or deform even when door repeatedly closed on it. Brass pressure relief valve on top of unit to avoid explosion and death when filling. You hear it open before bag is full. Then you simply reduce flow until maximum capacity. No drip, no lift filling! Has two very strong stable lifting handles if you want to use bag externally. Upside? Side step (assuming you have one) is a good platform for water transfer to pots etc. This set up keeps weight low, (water is heavy), is secure and out of the way and uses the space its placed in to maximum effect. Things can be placed on top during travel. It’s tough! No valves need be opened when using as bag simply collapses whilst emptying. Downside? It’s low, so you ain’t showering under it. It uses a space where a passengers feet could be (although small children in child seats can happily rest feet upon bag) I’m experimenting with a 200mm x 2m saddled PVC pipe on roof rack for showering. That equates to about 60lts. Painted black of course. That on the right side of roof rack/ tyre on left to balance weight. A 3m braided hose and a detachable quality watering gun with shower mode. A small plastic pallet to stand on that can be easily stored on roof rack. Keep it safe.

I got a water bladder on the roof rack and a Jerry on the rear wheel carrier. Bladder has a hose running to the back carrier similar to your hose setup. Some people put a low profile caravan tank on top with a hose running of it,the problem with having water on top is heat and weight,for me the bladder is used to fill up the caravan instead of carrying water jerry's.

Pro tip : since you have the garden hose attachment at the end of your hose you can go to bunnings and buy a caravan water filter which is about $25 which will attach to your hose if you want cheaper ebay has even better deals, then where ever you fill your water from you will have filtered water from the tap.

Also I don't like the idea of having all of my water in one tank when I'm in remote areas. Jerry cans are good for water storage redundancy - if one leaks or cracks on a rough trsil or whatever, then i still have 2 as backup. Also, what's the importance of the hose bend in the Jerry can being in line with the one coming out of the elbow ? Cheers mate

Great tips, Tim. I’ve just invested in a Lifesaver jerrycan. Brilliant inbuilt filter. You can get an optional hand pump shower extension. Not cheap. I had to sell a kidney for it. But at least the high quality filter will protect the remaining kidney. Essential to have a good filter if you’re planning any long trips or serious off-roading where water quality may be dodgy. A lot of people will say $500 is a total waste of money for secure drinking water but not bat an eye @ $400 per year to run personalised plates. What price health? ⛑

G'day David, Yeah mate, KZread can be handy for getting some good ideas. I like the sound of the way you are going to set up you two containers. Top stuff mate and thanks for your feedback. Cheers Tim
Been using that system for over 20 years and agree with you its the best way. On desert trips I carry up to 120L of water in jerrys, and use two of the hoses - one for the best drinking water and the other with bore water or whatever I pick up along the way - so I can separate the good water from not so good. For the breather in the cap, just drill a 1mm hole - small enough to let air in but not big enough to leak. And I like the blue coloured Willow jerrys - have the same large cap as yours but the jerry is transparent enough to see how much water is left. Helps heaps when you refill the jerrys inside the car. And a trigger pistol works best for me - can work it single handed. And instead of hose clamps I find cable ties are a smooth clamp if using the barbed irrigation fittings. A jagged cut on the tip of the hose inside the jerry also stops it sucking against the wall of the container. Cheers

A good idea that suits your needs perfectly Tim. I had the same annoyance for years with lugging jerrycans in and out (and also those silly little taps at the bottom that break off) so came up with a similar but different method that suits any shape jerrycan with a large screw top. Blanked off the bottom hole, purchased a caravan sink pump for $10 at a camping show, used a hole saw to cut the correct sized hole in the centre of the large cap and screwed up the plastic hex nut on the underside. Went to Bunnings and got 600mm of the appropriate sized clear plastic food grade tube and forced it onto the bottom of the pump and screwed the lid back on. The tube reaches right to the bottom and now I can pump out water as needed and get almost all that is in the jerrycan before having to pull it out and refill. So far the plastic tube has stayed on for around 2 years with no clamp.True I don't have a hose with tap like you but I find this works extremely well and may be of interest to those who watch this video.

Good stuff Tim mate. Yes I’ve been using a 30ltr tub in the back, gravity fed from a join at the bottom. Has worked well for many years now. I have a hook on my barn door for the hose to sit on and I use it as a regular tap. Works a treat. I also carry cask water, usually a couple 10ltrs, which adds as drinking water. Hooroo.

Gday mate. Thanks for that. It’s a simple setup for a Jerry can when out camping. I have a top and bottom brass washer to help with the seal. My connection to the screw on cap does spin, but seals without any water leaking. Hope that helps mate. Cheers Tim.

I would recommend using a caravan water filter when filling up. This is what I do when I'm filling mine up, keeps the inside as clean as possible and you have yourself a filtered water. But this is a good mod to do on a jerry can. 👍🏽

Nice one Batesy. Hitherto I have used the bottom feeding tap as you highlighted, I have a secure storage wrack setup so theres little chance the tap could ever break off in transit and If it did the bulk of the water would be captured in the secure wrack. I also carry a second jerry without a tap. Your way is a great way to go. On a side not, lately I've been cooking up Kippers on the camp grill whilst up the river. If you like healthy smoked fish for brekkie, few buttered slices on the side you can't go wrong. In Woolies fish freezer next to most fish counters. From Scotland these ones are but they are cheap and lovely alternative to eggs and bacon.

60ltr collapsable tank behind passenger seat in foot well. Seat does not need to be moved forward and can still recline. Weight is low (stable) and conforms to shape of area it is situated and therefore doesn’t become a missile upon sudden breaking. Easy fill via outlet hose that has conventional small brass garden tap with lever (important so you can stop fill quickly at unit and not overfill). Braided hose (tough and doesn’t kink or deform even when door repeatedly closed on it. Brass pressure relief valve on top of unit to avoid explosion and death when filling. You hear it open before bag is full. Then you simply reduce flow until maximum capacity. No drip, no lift filling! Has two very strong stable lifting handles if you want to use bag externally. Upside? Side step (assuming you have one) is a good platform for water transfer to pots etc. This set up keeps weight low, (water is heavy), is secure and out of the way and uses the space its placed in to maximum effect. Things can be placed on top during travel. It’s tough! No valves need be opened when using as bag simply collapses whilst emptying. Downside? It’s low, so you ain’t showering under it. It uses a space where a passengers feet could be (although small children in child seats can happily rest feet upon bag) I’m experimenting with a 200mm x 2m saddled PVC pipe on roof rack for showering. That equates to about 60lts. Painted black of course. That on the right side of roof rack/ tyre on left to balance weight. A 3m braided hose and a detachable quality watering gun with shower mode. A small plastic pallet to stand on that can be easily stored on roof rack. Keep it safe.

Thanks heaps mate for your reply and feedback. I greatly appreciate it. Cheers Tim.
Put a pressure valve in the cap (or anywhere on top), pump it up with your onboard air compressor (must have for 4x4) and you've got pressure for showers. Gravity fed showers aren't very good.

Pro tip : since you have the garden hose attachment at the end of your hose you can go to bunnings and buy a caravan water filter which is about $25 which will attach to your hose if you want cheaper ebay has even better deals, then where ever you fill your water from you will have filtered water from the tap.

Awesome concept am doing that for sure. Saves installing a water tank and jerry cans fit perfectly in the ute canopy. Also I don't like the idea of having all of my water in one tank when I'm in remote areas. Jerry cans are good for water storage redundancy - if one leaks or cracks on a rough trsil or whatever, then i still have 2 as backup. Also, what's the importance of the hose bend in the Jerry can being in line with the one coming out of the elbow ? Cheers mate

Great tips, Tim. I’ve just invested in a Lifesaver jerrycan. Brilliant inbuilt filter. You can get an optional hand pump shower extension. Not cheap. I had to sell a kidney for it. But at least the high quality filter will protect the remaining kidney. Essential to have a good filter if you’re planning any long trips or serious off-roading where water quality may be dodgy. A lot of people will say $500 is a total waste of money for secure drinking water but not bat an eye @ $400 per year to run personalised plates. What price health? ⛑
