I'm wanting to install an ice/water tank for the texas mile coming up to help with heat buildup. Does any company make an off the self tank for this purpose or is custom fabbed he only option?
An actual insulated cooler works much better. It doesn't sweat all over the inside of the car and helps insulate the ice. The alum ice tanks everyone uses sweat all over the inside of the car and make a huge mess.

That makes a lot of sense. I'd look at a round water cooler with a screw off lid. Replace the water spigot with an outlet and return it through the lid. Put a drain valve in the outlet tubing. All kinds of easy ways to make a mount for those. Nearly every work truck in Texas used to have them back before all of the regulations made it easier to just do bottled water. Lots of ideas here. http://www.igloocoolers.com/Beverage...s-Collections?
Thanks all, I think I'll go with a normal style cooler and epoxy in some npt fittings. The beverage igloo will be too tall I'm sure. Those submersible pumps looks nice and cheap if they can handle the pressure drop through the intercooler. The built tanks look nice too but like the others said I don't want them sweating in the trunk. A yeti cooler maybe ideal for the sealing but I'm not sure it's worth that money.
A friend of mine brought this thread to my attention.
We never really had any issues with tanks sweating all over. They actually stay pretty dry. I Think if it was a issue no one would be using them and they would be putting iglue coolers in the trunk instead.
We make affordable trunk tanks with rule 2000 pumps from 275 shipped up to 400 shipped. AN fittings or NPT.
i just bought the tank i wanted and spec'd the hatch and fittings i wanted. i mounted my own rule 1500 later moving to the 2000. silly thing not to start with since they are only like 65 bux new
are you still able to get these trunk mount ice box’s?
