I got to check one of these out over the xmas holiday (JimI got one for surfing). Pretty cool idea. Got me thinking I might one day mount one for a vehicle mounted fish cleaning station. Pretty cool gadget.

Love the idea!  Saw someone drive by with something like this on their roof rack and started Googling until I found similar setups:

Great idea. And it looks like it'd be fairly easy to diy...

  One could charge the container with air compressor via small Schrader valve also if the shutoff regulator for the hose can't be located.

I like that ABS version. Nice clean design. 4" pipe holds about 0.65 gallons of water per linear foot, so a 4' stick of 4" diameter ABS would give you 2.5 gallons of water.

I just use an old laundry detergent jug that I rinsed out... Low tech, but works just fine.

From what I remember, people were adding some pressure with just a bicycle pump.  Not sure how to put a stem in there, but i'll figure it out eventually... or NCKA will  :smt044

Use a stem for a tubeless tire set up. 
Stan's, Bontrager and a host of others make 'em
They've got a rubber gasket on the inside, and a threaded nut on the other.  keeps air in so ought to keep water in as well.

Tons of 'em up on amazon.  Pretty cheap, too.  These are out of stock, but you get the idea:

A plain ole valve stem from wally world or tractor supply co should work just fine depending on the thickness of the pvc/abs.

Nice cheap idea if you don't want to use a heat exchanger or portable heater/pump.  Thanks for sharing.
