Hi Guys, our salvage yard here in Narrogin has 25 x 1.5mt round x 1 mt deep (Approx) fiberglass tanks, they use to be outside service stations as bottle collection bins apparantly, they are minus the top half leaving a nice sized tank, (Perth people may have seen them, we don't have such luxuries down here), anyway they will be $80 each, I will be having 2 so if your interested PM me, they will be pick up from here though

Our guy in Narrogin is going to sell the for $80, he is getting them Cheaper for buying the whole lot, but there are more for sale in the quokka from the same place our Narrogin Guy is buying them, but NFI on the quokka price
If that makes sense :compress: I think I have confused myself, lets have another go.
Our salvage yard is buying 25 tanks for what ever price, and selling them for $80, I believe the same tanks are in the quokka, but have NFI on the price :cheers:
That sounds better :roll:

More info, will have 1 in town on Thursday, will put pic up then, and let salvage guy know if they are suitable and are worth buying, have been now told that they have 4 drain holes about 1c piece size (for those of us that can remember a 1c piece) or Panadol size (for those of us old enough to have a hangover, all others will have to work out the size), so should be easily patched and still good value
