Update: I received my 30 dollar twin size waterbed mattress, pulled rear seat down of car, fed mattress thru trunk, after lining trunk with heavy blankets.

Works like a charm.

I'm just guessing I put 30-50 gallons and easily transporded to my property.

I can easily transfer water now to my ibc container via the water pump.

Much easier than hauling plastic 5 gallon jugs.

Not sure how much the mattress could hold but it would be way too much weight for the car anyway and I don't need any more than 50 gallons at a time to keep the container full.

Good to hear it worked. Any issues with water moving around too much causing handling issues?

None at all, as it turned out I had just over 60 gallons of water in the mattress. Any more and my tires would have been rubbing on inner fenders, the car has larger than factory wheel/tire combo

Police are still trying to establish what happened to a Florida man earlier today. A man in a Tercel apparently failed to stop and impacted the rear of a UPS truck. The man died from what appear to be crushing injuries. The only vehicles involved were the Tercel and the UPS truck, and it appears there was minimal impact. It was not raining at the time of the accident, but the scene was wet prior to the arrival of fire apparatus.
