Polypropylene water tanks.......
Anyone have any insight into the quality of polypropylene
tanks
for
drinking water
.....
Toxicity?
Taste?
Polypropylene vs polythylene?
Thanks in advance...

Re: Polypropylene water tanks.......
I believe they are FDA "approved."
Not sure that is too meaningful...........

Re: Polypropylene water tanks.......
I had my
water
and
diesel
tanks
out of Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) - nice, flexible. The
water
was always good and the
diesel
never had any growth in it. Very happy with them.

Re: Polypropylene water tanks.......
Had polyethylene on our Yankee 30, no flavor problems, can be carefully welded if cracked.
Have also had good water quality from Vetus hypalon bladders and s/s tanks.
