Thank you to all who responded to my request, I have approached Hovercraftconsultants who will be taking on the job which is very expensive but what price a sturdy reliable pillow style tank which at construction stage they will fit an internal water purifyer to enable me to drink the water safely. Just another expense!
I have changed my name to xhurleyman as I now have a Sadler!

I'd be very interested to know a ballpark figure for the job. For a 100 litre triangular tank Plastimo wanted about £70 and Vetus about £300. Where on that sort of scale are we looking?
 
Try Nauta tanks I have them they are bombproof,we used the for long range tanks in sea kings when I worked fo a living
 
Hi Jumbleduck, I am only having a tank holding around ten gallons as that is what is recommended for a Sadler 26 and the cost is a little over £300 but that includes the water purifying unit which was around the £40 mark the £300 odd includes VAT and postage and will take two to three weeks. It is a bag within a bag so as the inner bladder expands, it cannot lose its pillow dimensions as it is held within an outer much tougher skin which is still flexible.
The Chap to get hold of is Richard Summers, sales@hovercraftconsultants.co.uk Tel. 02380 686666.
Hope that helps.

Thanks very much. It's many years since I had a tank made by a hovercraft skirt company, but I suspect that it's the same bunch and the price seems pretty reasonable for something well made, double-skinned and bespoke.
