4Motion - Underslung Water
- Thread starter dubboy
- Start date
My guess is that the Amber Plastics ones won't fit a 4Motion (Amber Plastics are the folks that supply Autosleepers and are available from Autocraft at Staveley) so maybe your only option is CAK at Kenilworth
Others may come up with better solutions.

@Ads_Essex I'm referring to the rear tank that fits around the spare wheel and into the space where the rear differential is on a 4motion and the one that fits down the centre of the chassis beside the front silencer.

Thought you might be mate.
Providing he doesn’t have a Euro 6, the OP may be able to use the centre-chassis tank you recommended me - otherwise he’s stuck with the offside cill tank(s) I guess.
whats a euro 6 and how can I tell if I have one? Am thinking of underslug water for my 6.1 4 motion and trying to figure out whats likely to fit under there.
6.1 is Euro 6. You will have an ad-blue filler underneath the diesel filler.
On mine, I put a cill tank in from CAK tanks, about 27L. There is also space for tanks at the rear quarter- CAK do one, but there was a thread on here with a poster who had a much better solution, and avoided dealing with the vagueness of CAK.
I have a heater fitted by driver’s step, but this space is also available if not.

Thanks for clearing that up, it does indeed have the ad blue under the diesel filler.
I'm trying to figure out if I can get a 40 to 60 litre water tank under there somewhere, as big as possible, and still keep the spare tyre in the holder. I guess you have to consider also the weight on each side of the van with what your adding in there. Should I consider placing all my electrical store in the opposite side of the van from the full water tank for a more even weight displacement.
Does a part of the diesel heater also need to be fitted underneath the van? Can you elaborate on that so I get a clearer picture.
As if it wasn't already complex enough trying to plan all this I only recently discovered that the 4 motion was also different in structure than the regular transporter. It of course makes perfect sense that it would be but I had not considered it until recently.
Usually the heater body goes under the step. You can put it inside, but then the exhaust still comes out where the tank would be.

T5/T6 NSR underslung water tank
We recently completed a camper van conversion on a T6. As part of this we developed a water tank that fits in an unused space behind the N/S/R wheel to use as a waste tank and had a drain pipe fitted. Since then I have fitted one to my own van (T5) to use with a cordless pressure washer for...

CandyVan conversion journey
Two days off for an early Christmas present from the parents, who bought me two days ramp hire at East Lancashire Vehicle Storage Solutions . It was a real pleasure to work on a new van, and the sliding jack built in made it really easy to lower and lift the fuel and water tanks. Much better...
