Chapin 98142 Water Storage Tank, 40‑Gallon, Utility Water Supply, Translucent Chemical‑Resistant Poly Tank, 6" Wide Cap, 2" Drain & Garden‑Hose Port for Farms, Acreage, Gardens & Orchard

Fantastic tank, would buy again, I specifically bought a shower head attachment for it. I'm using this as an off-grid water storage tank. Every few days I bring home 2-3 of the 5gal size and it's been perfect for my needs. Washing dishes, taking baths, refill water, etc. overall I'm very happy with it. Mine appears to have a few minor cosmetic issues. It looks like some debris fell into the plastic during the mold process because it has a few dark spots embedded in the tank. Hopefully it's not toxic 🤷 For the people saying that it's leaking- either yours is missing the rubber washer, it's backwards or misaligned, you tightened it too much, or you added Teflon (if it has a washer/gasket, DON'T USE TEFLON)

This was a great price for a little water tank for me on my property. I also had a problem at first with it leaking at the seal. What o figured out is you must remove the plug, set the rubber gasket and cap then screw they all on super tight. Then add your plug or the recommended attachment with shut off and get that on super tight as well. It took me a couple of tries with just a little water to make sure I had a good seal. I’ve since filled the tank several times and not had an issue with any leaks. Hope this helps others

Heavy duty! I use mine to water plants and trees on my property. Great gravity feed. I have a 25ft hose attached to mine with a sprinkler head end.

I strap this onto my dirt bike hauling trailer for camping/riding trips and it gets me plenty of water to use for washing bikes and showering. It's the perfect size where it's not too big, but not too small either. It has nice strap indentations on the top so those don't slide around. The only issues I have are with the drain/outlet piece leaking. Having plastic threads make it hard to tighten down hoses to it and the 2 piece cap there with a rubber gasket can leak as well. Make sure that gasket is in the right place, I think mine I put gasket against the tank. You'll know pretty immediately if it's not in the right place.

Bought this to carry water in my UTV to water plantings that we can't reach with a hose. Tank itself fits well in my UTV and seems adequately sturdy, but is hard to strap securely to the bed (curved sides without mounting points or good recesses to hold straps). But the huge FAIL is that the plastic fittings for the drain outlet are really cheap and inadequate. As other reviewers have noted, the fittings as provided WILL leak, so you need to put in extra effort and supplies (washer/o-ring, caulk/joint paste, glue) to stop the leak. The bigger issue is that the 3/4" hose fitting is poorly designed and too weak to attach a hose to. Mine sheared off the first time I used it! I would have returned it but it's so oversized that would be a huge hassle. Instead I've had to buy additional fittings to close off the original drain and install a higher quality bulkhead fitting and tap elsewhere on the tank. So, extra cost and time to make the tank useful. Fingers crossed that the tank will last long enough to justify the effort. I would not buy this again and am unlikely to buy anything else from Chapin.

Yes was perfect size and Is great for spraying weeds all Day having a tanning truck is so much more convenient than looking formspickets all day lol

Very happy with it. It's nice and light and easy to handle when empty.

Everything is great about this tank except 2” drain cap. It leaks. Photo is about 25 minutes of sitting full. It’s sitting on a pallet and pressure going on cap so will try to elevate a bit but just annoying. Might be able to seal with silicone.

Leaks. Just a bit, a drop a second or so. Not a lot, just enough to make a permanent mess. Too bad :( Otherwise Ok. Raised from 3 to 4 stars. A HEAVY dose of teflon tape fixed the leaking bottom cap. But then you can’t take it off as often to clean / empty the vat. And the thread seems to be proprietary? Couldnt find a compatible, sturdy, closed cap for the bottom outlet.

Tank is nice. But the bottom cap and 3/4 inch spigot are awful. . No shut of valve and no mater what you do it leaks. Be prepared to go out and by quality fitting or return the unit.good thing i tested with water first before100 a gallon plasma cutting fluid in it

If you dont mind a little bit of water dripping than it's a good product for your use

Just as itbshould be
