This tank perfectly fits around the wheel well of your Transit and takes up no addition width - maximizing your garage space!

Made with BPA-free, food-grade (CSA approved) polyethylene, not only do these tanks save space and provide a good amount of safe drinking water, they also insulate your wheel well to keep the road noise down.

Looking for a grey water tank to compliment your freshwater tank? Check out our 17 Gallon Undermount Tank! The undermount tank fits snugly under the drivers side of your Transit's framed undercarriage. It's the perfect solution for your off-grid water requirements.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Slim design - Sacrifices ZERO space in your garage.
  • Space Saving - A unique way to make efficient use of that awkward wheel well area and shape.
  • Build Options - These tanks are interchangeable between both wheel wells. You can fit this tank over whichever wheel well works best for your build. Need more water? Place one on either side of your van for mega-volume!
  • Distributes Weight - Adds weight over your rear axle to help increase traction if you get in a sticky spot. No more slips and skids, not to mention unwanted wheel wear, thanks to the perfect weight distribution of these tanks.
  • Sound Proofing - When it comes to road noise, these tanks step it up with added noise reduction around your wheel well.
  • BPA-Free and Food Grade Approved - Feel safe knowing these tanks are food grade CSA approved! Wash the dishes, have a shower, fill the dog bowl, and stay hydrated, while exploring in your van!
  • Fittings Kit Add-On Available - Save yourself the headache and multiple trips to the plumbing store when you bundle this tank with our Freshwater Fittings Kit!
  • Strapping Kit Add-On Available - Weather-resistant strapping crafted from heavy-duty 1/8" thick, 1 1/2" wide stainless-steel. Simple and secure!
