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....

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

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 - ^:)^
