I have a 2005 F-350 crew-cab with an 8 foot bed and I am looking for a water tank that would fit in the bed of my truck and still allow me to haul my 4- horse gooseneck trailer. Does anyone know of any websites that would carry polyethlyne FDA approved water tanks? I am looking for a 60 or 70 gal. tank.

I got a 50 Gallon White plastic one that fits in the back of my Pick-up at our Farm & Fleet in Wi. If you don't have one or something like it, Check out your feed store maybe they can order you one.

just a suggestion.. check with a local ag coop, they may be able to order a tank the right size and shape from their supplier of poly fertilizer tanks. I work for our coop in the fert/chem division and found, in the supplier catalog, just the 50 gal tank that would fit perfectly under the gooseneck, beside the hitch . They put the bung where I wanted it and fitted a small banjo valve and for around $75. We special order parts for our farmers and your coop may, too. Worth a try. I also got an demand water pump (just like the LQ one) and had it wired to easily connect to my trailer marine battery. I can gravity flow water or pump water, depending on what I need. Sure is handy.

I'm considering the half-moon one from High Country Plastics. Will probably purchase through ValleyVet.com as they're close and I've had good luck with them.
