Can someone help me with a DIY autopot reservoir? Not sure what I exactly need since I have never seen one in person. Thanks!

I think you just need a bulk head that accepts 3/8 tubing and a trashcan like 13gallons would work fine and of course a drill.

Looks like a kitchen garbage can.

Gave me a reason to open my box, been on the porch for a couple weeks.
what do your fittings look like?
I bought a $9 27 gal tote from Sam's and used a Lifegard Aquatics 1/2 inch bulkhead and 1/2 NPT-1/2 angled barb. The bulkhead from Amazon cost more than the tote. I needed every bit of the 18+ gallons I put in it 2 weeks ago.

Thank you!! I feel like the autopot res was just to expensive for what it was

- Various strains, via various intake tools, but no combustion.
Perfect. I have done the same with both totes and 45 gallon drums. Any plastic container will do as long as there is a surface flat enough for the bulkhead fitting to seal onto. Nice setup by the way.I bought a $9 27 gal tote from Sam's and used a Lifegard Aquatics 1/2 inch bulkhead and 1/2 NPT-1/2 angled barb. The bulkhead from Amazon cost more than the tote.

me too, and the reservoir increases shipping costs. Inexpensive plastic totes are available pretty much everywhere. My first reservoir, still being used, was a 10 gallon insulated beverage container with a valve already installed.
