Greetings~
Has anybody out there, that made their own holding tanks, used a product like Rhino Lining to line a plywood box for a tank? There are several other brand names for similar type spray-in bed liners (such as Arma-Coat, Line-Ex etc.)I'm not sure what is made out of, but I'seen many pickup beds that are coated. I do know that it is a two-part product that mixes at the gun when it is sprayed on. The entire bed is coated with a seamless, uniform material that is generally about an eighth of an inc thick. whatcha' think? |

An interesting concept, worth looking into. I have no idea what the cost would be compared to plywood/fiberglass. Anyone know what it costs to coat a pick-up bed?

I had my 2000 Toyota Tacoma's bed sprayed with Line-X the day I bought it. $375, according to the invoice.
Stuff's impervious to everything and the kitchen sink, but it will chip off the sharp edges (at least when in business use). Local dealer said bring it back and they'll reshoot the chipped area at N/C.
Since mine is exposed to the hot CA sun on a daily basis, the original black color has faded somewhat. I've heard, but haven't confirmed, that other colors are available, but the sun's effect will affect the colors over time.
I like it, much more so than the normal drop-in bedliners. I'll do it again when I replace this truck, and am thinking about having the luggage bays, old HVAC compartment, etc., on my coach sprayed before installing "stuff". . .
HTH,

My F-350 sees some incredibly hard use, and the Rhino-Lining (dark gray) is undamaged. I throw engines, transmissions, axles, lumber, gravel, cinderblocks, and other stuff in the bed all the time. Even ancient, filthy gear oil left out in the July sun for 5 hours didn't hurt the coating, nor did a spill of battery acid. |

The Rhino liner would work but the other thing it would do would be hold huge amounts of bacteria in it if sprayed for a tank. I have seen it mnoss in the bed of a pick up, to get rid of it we had to preasure wash the bed..cant do that with a tank. also..no matter what filter you would use, if the water fouls..it aint no good unless your flushing it
just a thought

Unless u have a connection for it, I would imagine that the cost would approach that of a custom made tank by one of the major manufacturers. Possibly ok for grey/blk water but I would question it's use for potable water. Also, how would you shoot that last seam in a box to insure the entire box was sealed? |

I built a special tank (40 Gal.) for my 1968 Gillig. Had it sprayed with Linex inside and out. Works fantastic. Just be sure to tell the person who is spraying material in tank to put a smooth finish on it. If they have some experience,it is not a problem. |

Hi, Stephen~
~Glad to hear from someone that has actually done what I'm considering for my holding tanks. How did you do it all the way around the inside? Did you do the top as a separate panel that was attatched later (as you would have to do if using fiberglass?) did you spray the outside too? Or just the inside? I know that that stuff is awesome
for bedliners.
~~ Thanks~~

Is anyone from S. Cal coming to the gathering in Grand Canyon Caverns that would be willing to pick up 2 tanks from Ardemco (Costa Mesa,Ca.)
and bring them up for me. The combined
measurements of the 2 Tanks would be 76"x28"x26". E-mail at above address or call me at:
1 800 717-8818.
