Sorry mate. Deleted it by mistake.


McMasterCarr has a set of tanks that look REALLY close. Close enough to maybe warrant buying one and pulling molds off of it, then send it back. They weigh 140 pounds each, so glass would be the way to go. Let alone the $900.oo pricetag plus shipping cost.

Hi Bronze 21.. ( Adrian your question is answered)


Do you have pictures, specifications in terms of size etc, if so can you mail me at [url]mailto:[email protected][/url] and I can confirm if the McMastercarr specifications are correct.

In the picture the tank looks pretty close.... however..


I am working from memory just now , so this is not gospel .. but..


The diamater of the small 80 gal tank is just a bit big, but worse the length is a wopping 1.62 meters, this is over the Interceptor tank length, and a storage capacity is thus at the 300 liters per tank.


I think that the actual tank was about 150 litre capacity.
