Big rental water tanks?
Big rental water tanks?
Anyone rented one of those gigantic hippo tanks that you have dropped off and filled, picked up at the end? My camp is going to be doing some water-intensive stuff this year, seems like the easiest way to do it. something in the 3-500 gallon range.
Anyone done this, suggest a vendor?

i was just thinking...
my wife and i were at a brewery last week and out in the warehouse i saw a giant water tank (cuz beer is made from water... you know?) mounted onto a pallet with a cage around it for support. it was about 4 ft by 4 ft and about 3 ft tall. it was pallet mounted to be moved with a forklift.
we were wondering if anyone has ever brought one of those to burning man
...not that *I* would ever need/want to bring one. but i imagine some of the theme camps would find something like that SUPER handy. (assuming they had access to lift equipment).

I brought one down last year for a friend's camp...350 gallons IIRC. They used a Gradall with forks to pick it off my trailer full and all. Filled it up in Fernley at the Chevron. Took about the same time as it took to fill all my fuel tanks! They come with a bottom valve for accessing the water.epic_elite wrote:...we were wondering if anyone has ever brought one of those to burning man...
They purchased it on Craig's list for cheap ($75 IIRC)

That's an important tip, when hauling water..empty or full, is a lot easier and safer to haul than a half full container. Well a large capacity container anyways... while its not thousands of gallons, 350 gallons pulled by a 4 Wheeler, is over2,800lbs...proportional to a big rig, that's equipped with airbrakes on both tractor and trailer...
anything worth doing is worth overdoing..

Mine was dumped...not an ad. REally the only company you'll likely be able to get to do it. They've swallowed up all the others and that's the company the ORG uses as well, so they are already out there.mdmf007 wrote:MOD NOTE -
Your going to have to PM the names of particular companies, or PM me for the list.
The two posts I dumped came across as ads. I could be wrong, but errored on the side of no commerce.
