Whenever we are asked to help out with a project we never know whats coming up! For example we were asked to nip down to Qualiti Conversions in Botley to come and check out an off road vehicle that needed some tanks.

It turned out to be a Russian troop carrier with a carbon fibre body imported from Khazakstan. The owner wanted fresh water, waste and grey water tanks all to be mounted between the living accomodation and the chassis. Tek-Tanks supplied all the tanks from the standard Series A range.
Custom built tanks are also popular with expedition customers as invariably the vehicles are “one off” projects and that is what we do best…..one offs!

Tek-Tanks Series A Rectangular Tanks are manufactured from 10mm thick Medium density polyethylene. Come down to the factory and jump up and down on one to see how tough they are……. you will find very little deflection on the tanks walls. These tanks will provide taste free water from -50 degrees C to +80. We can even provide low voltage (12-24v) water heaters with temperature controllers to stop your tank freezing in those colder climates.Skycar Support Vehicle 02
 
 
 
For the Skycar Expedition in 2009 we supplied 2 large diesel tanks for the large 8 wheeled support truck driven by Ben Gott. These tanks replaced some aluminium tanks that had split after a previous expedition. On their return Ben showed us the truck after he literally “took off” and pointed out the broken leaf springs and bent steering arm. The tanks must have taken a pounding for that amount of damage to be done.
