I'm needing to carry a supply of water for my pressure washer, it's capable of sucking standing water from a tank. My plan was to try and use my boats "Fat Sacks" as portable water tanks as I will only occasionally need them. Fat sacks are heavy vinyl bags you fill with water to weigh your boat down for better wake. My biggest bag is 110 gallons. They have multiple 3/4 inch fittings so I can easily attach a garden hose. This seems like a better idea then buying a solid water tank and caring it around.
Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking it should work just like a barrel or tank. Any input?

Sounds like a good idea to have a
more compact style of (water) tote.

But since I don't know what type of
vehicle you are going to use to carry
the filled-up Fat Sack(s) around...

Just make sure it can handle up to:
8.344 X 110 = 917.84 lbs/415.8 kgs.

Ya good reminder but I already checked and payload for my truck box is 1700ibs. I'm sure it will work, kind of like sucking juice from the bags instead of juice box lol. Was just wondering if anyone has tried it.
