Hi wombat,

Stick it in a 19ltr corny keg, you can get 'em for around the same price as the jerry can looking contraption!

All the best on your travels, drive safe.

Cheers

I second the corny keg .
Small footprint , easy to carry around , 100% sealed and strong.
And , you don’t have to stick to the true corny ball lock , the pin lock are cheaper or there are the weird topped ones (Coke maybe) that are heaps cheaper

They are not liquid tight without co2 is only downside....

[bluc]

But you can buy them with 4" ferrule...

If you fill them and give them a shake , they will seal if the seals are good .
I do this all the time with nappy San

Gday -

Thanks all for ya post -

Ended up with 2 corny kegs from kegland - And finally hitting the road tomorrow after this and that -

1 is behind the passenger seat the other behind the drivers seat - but from the base then up approx 6/8 inches up they are collared around 12 mm marine ply -

Will keep ya updated how it all goes - oops have a tiny 5 mil inside diam plastic hose to suck out the 92% into 2 ltr flagons -

Cheers wombat

[The Stig]

Enjoy the trip.
Easy on the suck to syphon at 90+ :laughing-rolling:

Update -

We eventually got going - Things changed a little - originally going up the guts - but inlaw bit crook in Perth so we reversed the trip and thats where we headed -
We are at Chidlow - Perth

The 2 cornys travelled well - had to take a suck on the plastic tube - all good - didnt get any 90 in the gob -
I had to weigh a few things up - cant take all me oaked stuff so ended up going with the flavour the female boss likes - just with water - Still spirit Top Shelf Aussie Gold Rum - Maybe here for another week - then head north via Geraldton -

Thanks again all for ya input - ^:)^
