Detailed Overview
The Front Runner Stainless Steel Water Tank is expertly crafted from durable 304-grade stainless steel, chosen for its resilience against corrosion in outdoor and mobile environments. Its dimensions (1065mm width, 230mm length, and 285mm height) are precisely tailored to fit neatly behind the Front Runner Ute drawer system, utilising space below the drawer deck that is typically unused.
The tank comes complete with all necessary fittings and piping to route water seamlessly to the front of the drawer system, with knockout holes designed in the drawer’s side panel plate allowing a tidy, concealed installation. This design aids in maintaining a clean and uncluttered setup.
An included 12V electric pump enhances usability, delivering water at a flow rate up to 12.5 litres per minute and pressure up to 35 psi. The pump features a built-in pressure switch which automatically activates water flow when the discharge valve opens, and shuts off instantly when closed. It is designed to operate dry without damage, supports water temperatures up to 54°C, and benefits from a permanent magnet motor and ball bearing drive for quieter operation and extended service life. This pump’s excellent self-priming ability even allows installation above the water level if needed.
This compact water tank and pump combination is an excellent investment for ute owners who want to maximise vehicle storage space while maintaining reliable fresh water access for outdoor activities.
