Any interest in plastic long range tanks?

Post by Jaco Versfeld »

Hi There,

I chatted to a university friend of mine. He has his own successful business making a well-known kayak brand. I asked him whether he would be willing to make plastic long range tanks, and he said that he might do it, depending on the numbers.

Would any of you be interested in a plastic long range tank? If so, for which model SFA/IFS/Vigo (I wonder if one can make a one size fits all tank)?

Also, would you prefer a dual tank or a replacement tank? What would the capacity need to be?

I can ask the guy about the estimated price.

If you are interested, please add your name to the list

1. Jaco -> SFA -> Replacement -> 100L+

Is your friend's factory in Parys?

If I can somehow replace my existing 80l tank with one 100 litre tank and get rid of the slow filling extra tank I would be happy.

Price dependent, the biggest that can fit in an SFA and IFS.

Lets say, 120-150L???
