Water tank (locost)
I'm looking for a water tank to hold the coolant/cutting fluid for my DIY CNC machine, but you can't seem to get a 50-75 litre box tank
anywhere for less than 80 quid. Seems a lot for a plastic cube. Anyone got any locost ideas?

Any Good:

ETA probably not judging by the delivery charge.
Try local heating installers, they often take loft tanks out when they fit Combis.

Blue 215 litre water tanks being given away near me. Doesn't help you in Glasgow I know, but see if you can find one locally. Also have seen
square ones in a cage on ebay.

how about a standard plastic dustbin, outdoors one would be circa 200l, but a kitchen bin would be more like 75l,.. trip to local poundland?

60 litre cold water tanks for ~£25???
HERE
Or how about using 2x 25ltr drums and linking them at the bottom, suck from bottom of one and return to the top of the other to ensure circulation.
Cheers

Rectangular will let me put the pump in the tank, it's a sump pump and needs a space to stand.
