I have been corresponding with the Neil and Andrew at AlliSport, waiting on a new production of the Aluminum Double Chamber Water Tank. They have just done another production run, and I received my tank yesterday. Outstanding quality. I do not know how many they made, but for anyone wanting one you ...

That's it. Thank you.
