Default Flexible water tanks

Has anyone tried flexible water tanks ?

My main water tank is 85 gals Aluminium, with a filler, gauge and a Flame arrester breather via a goose neck, all presure tested to 5 bar, it would in fact make a perfect Red Diesel/kerosene tank for my Webasto heating.

My thoughts are to fill the water tank with reduced duty red diesel before it goes up next year and then I could keep topping it up for the heater.

If I do this then a flexible drinking water tanks needs to be stuffed away in a dead space, how long would it last being bounced around at 25 knts ?

Could the set up devalue the boat or will a potential buyer recognise the benefits of a spare 85 gals of 'heating oil' on board [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
