The Tank is 3 1/2 ft tall and 8 ft wide by 12 ft long. It will hold 2,500 gals of water. Water weight 20,000 lbs and with the tank and frame right around 25,000 lbs total with pumps and a few other things. I will be able to pump 475 GPM with my main pump and 135 GPM with my High Pressure Pump. It will have a Water Cannon, spray heads, 6 Inch Rear Dump Valve, 2 1/2 Inch outlet for fast fill of big equipment, 2- 1.5" Fire Hose Outlets, 3 in Suction for Main Pump, Hydrant & Top Fill Capable, 10 Flood Light and 4-Amber Strobes 2 on Cab and 2 on the back of the tank. My DOT Bummer is stronge enoungh to push on but with the nice mirror diamond plate I would hate to do it. I can pull the rear diamond plate off with 4- 3/8 inch bolts and disconect the wires to the lights with one multi-conductor light jack if needed to push on it. I have a 2 inch pin for cable hook up on the front end rated to pull the full GVW Rating of the Truck. I will weight right at 43,000 lbs full of water 3,000 below the Manufacture rating and 7,000 lbs below the Axle Ratings. There are more pictures on my photo site. I hope to have the tank on the truck this week end!! My Air Intake is thru the top of the grill right below the wind sheild so it is great for dusty roads. Mark H.
