Fuel bladders soon available in the UK
I have been in contact with Paul, who manufactures fuel (and water) baldders: www.liquidcontainment.com.au, Motorbike fuel tanks, Petrol Bladder, Diesel Bladder, Av Gas bladder Tanks
He does not retail them. He was looking for a retailer in Europe.
So I contacted Ernie from Overland-Solutions.com: Rally & Overland Fabrications as he seems to be the ideal person to import and retail them.
Anyway, after lots of emails, it seems that Ernie was looking into that and will be selling them soon (format 8 / 10 / 12 litres).
He is not sure yet of format for 4x4 (feel free to contact him and make your suggestions on this).
So there, as there was lots of speculation now you know!
I will publish when those bladders will be available from Ernie. I don't know yet. I need one bladder before end of August so hopefully...
Cheers,

Well done Maria. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.  Probably a 10ltr in case Ernie is on here.

Thanks Ed!
Ernie will be at the HUBB meeting in Ripley.
I will go ask him when he thinks he will have them in stock. Ask him too.
It will gives him an idea of numbers if lots of people go and ask...

Hello! I just ordered a 12 liter bladder from their web site ( www.liquidcontainment.com.au, Motorbike fuel tanks, Petrol Bladder, Diesel Bladder, Av Gas bladder Tanks) and received it in the mail box a week and a half later. Easy!
It looks great by the way, good quality. I don't need it but I'll probably bring it next weekend, just to test it! I love the thought of having solved the extra fuel issue.
I can post a trip rep if it is wanted!
Cheers Tom

msr dromedary bag?
would an MSR dromedary water bag work? or would the fuel ruin the material? ive thought of buying one for fuel just to see but they're pricey.

I think this has been covered before. Whilst it is possible to transfer fuel in MSR bags I've seen from experience that everything will smell of petrol and there's a good chance the bag will fail at some point.
There are some chinese fuel bladders on the web but I can't find anywhere outside of Justgastanks in the States that sells them. The Australian ones are the highest quality and the highest price.
