I recently installed the STAINLESS STEEL WATER TANK FOR PICK-UP DRAWER SYSTEM / 52L - BY FRONT RUNNER in my Isuzu DMAX, it fits perfectly behind my drawer.
I did some minor modifications to the front dispenser because, the Frontrunner connectors are bit robust and are not easy to do a quick connection. I replaced it with standard (Gardena) water hose connections and now it works perfectly. (Besides a few drops of water when connecting).
But the main issue that I discovered only afterwards is that there is actually no way to open the tank and add some cleaning tablets, for example. You only do that only once or twice a year. So there I can open the back, open one of the hoses and add some cleaning tablets.
The tank, by the way, is filled by connection a hose to your garden hose and then you can fill it up via a narrow hole
But when I fill the tank I would like to add some purification tablets to keep the water clean and drinkable for a while. That is easy in a jerrycan or tank with a big access hole. I used to work with small tablets that needed to be added per litre. So a tank of 52 litres needs 52 tablets. Problem is: they wont fit the small fill pipe. I looked for other solutions and found a liquid purifier (if that is the right word) and that has a droplet per glas of water... do the math that makes 4 droplets a litre x 52 = 208 droplets. That's a long annoying option.
Besides the droplets and maybe crushing the small purrification pills, are there any other possibilities that I can use in this particular case?
That would speed up the filling process quiet a bit.
(I contacted Frontrunner and they advised to open up the back from the drawer system, unmount the hose and fill it like that, that's ok for a yearly clean, not a regular refill with your car piled up with stuff...)
