79 Litre (16.5 gallon) Water Tanks
Product Overview
The 80 Litre Upright Water Tank is a compact and versatile solution for the storage and transportation of potable water and a wide range of other compatible liquids.
Manufactured from durable MDPE / polyethylene, this upright tank provides a nominal capacity of 80 litres, making it a practical choice where a reliable water supply is required without the footprint of a larger storage tank.
The upright rectangular design makes efficient use of floor space while providing a useful amount of water storage. Measuring approximately 300 × 600 × 450 mm, it is well suited to compact installations, mobile applications, cleaning systems, agricultural use and general-purpose water storage.
The natural version is manufactured from semi-translucent medium-density polyethylene, allowing the approximate water level to be viewed through the tank wall. This makes it easy to monitor the remaining water supply without having to open the tank.
The tank has a standard 3/4" BSP outlet and an 8" lid, with an opening of approximately 115 mm. Optional BSP outlet sizes and outlet positioning are available, allowing the tank to be adapted to different installation requirements.

Compact Upright Design
The 80 Litre Upright Water Tank has been designed to provide useful water storage while keeping its footprint relatively compact.
With dimensions of approximately 300 × 600 × 450 mm, the upright configuration allows the tank to make efficient use of available floor space.
This makes it suitable for installations where a flat tank may not be appropriate or where a taller, narrower storage solution is preferred.
The tank can be used for a wide range of applications, including:
- Potable water storage
- Cleaning systems
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Agricultural applications
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation
- Mobile water systems
- Commercial applications
- Temporary water storage
- General-purpose liquid storage
The installation area should be checked carefully before ordering to ensure there is sufficient space for the tank itself, its fittings and access to the lid.
Applications
The 80 Litre Upright Water Tank is suitable for a wide range of static and mobile water storage applications.
Typical uses include:
- Potable water storage
- Window cleaning
- Car valeting
- Vehicle cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Agricultural water storage
- Horticultural applications
- Irrigation
- Mobile water systems
- Temporary water storage
- General-purpose liquid storage
Its compact upright design makes it particularly useful where floor space is limited but sufficient height is available.

Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
