Liquid tank liner... for water? Anyone?

[beemerchef]

Hi there... I don't have a choice but get some 10 ltr NATO cans with their holder for the sidecar rig. The Ural ones are on back order + they are junk even if aluminium.
These NATO can unfortunately are steel and will rust. I have been told I can line them... I am not coming up with much on the Internet... there is a kit for $30... Just wondering if anyone has had experience and could turn me on to a good liner kit...
Thanks!... and be well...

If you are looking for 10 liter and not the normal 20 liter size, there are French 10 liter wine cans around (they look just like 20 liter 'Jerry Cans" but ar 1/2 the height), and they are epoxy lined. They even have 'VIN' embossed on the sides. Those might fit the bill?

I did a quick internet search to see if they are still available (I've had my for 10+ years, paid about $7.00 each back then) and this was the first hit, so I don't know if it is the best deal, etc?

Those are the ones I have.
But...I just changed my mind and will use mine for fuel instead of water, this way I don't have to line them. I always carried the fuel in the nose of the sidecar where Spirit (my dog!) sits... now I will have water in the sidecar instead... I think he will appreciate it better...

Sorry... moderator, we could actually delete this thread...

These are brilliant, great find! I'll be ordering a few.
