Flexible water tank replacement

[xhurleyman]

Sorry folks, I should have put my request on here and not on Sticky's forum.
To reiterate, I want to replace a double lined black potable water bag from my Sadler 26 with a new one of similar dimensions as in it is oblong, 865mm x 457mm x 300mm with two openings, both threaded about 50mm in diameter side by side around 200mm apart and the capacity is close on 10 gallons. I have spent a long time today researching this and only come up with three companies, Plastimo, Vetus and Lalizlas whose similar capacity tanks are square and at 700mm will not fit the space with the bag flat. Please help if you can and if anyone has had one made by a company could I have the contact details please.
Thank you
Kevin

You tank was custom made and is very different construction and material from the standard production ones you have looked at. Google flexible water tanks and you will find a number of potential suppliers who will make one for you - at a price!

I had a water tank made for my last boat by a company whose main business was hovercraft skirts. I think it may have been this lot:

It was very well made and still happily in swrvice when I sold the boat, twenty years later. When I refitted the bow tank in my current boat I used a Plastimo one: the Vetus ones look tougher but are hell of a price. About three times as much as the Plastimo, iirc, and well into custom tank territory.

OP, I think you'll just have to bite the bullet and have one made. They are expensive, but not too outrageously so, and a good one will last a very long time.

I have two larger tanks by "Turtle" (water / fuel). Plastimo do 1050x700x250mm which is almost right and I have two or their 1400x700x250mm. It doesn’t matter if they are bigger than your space (but a little wasteful). You can also have "plastic" (ie poly...) tanks made to order to exactly fit your space. It will come down to $ vs expedience vs . . .? Andrew

I don't think it necessarily matters too much, these tank swell to fit the confines of the space they are in and if there is a crease or two in the fabric where it hasn't been able to swell to its fullest extent that shouldn't be a problem.

The Plastimo tanks have holes top and bottom. But, with a flexible tank, you only need use one and seal the other.
