Tankers and Tenders

tankers and tenders

Our department is selling this 1996 Kovatch/Volvo tanker because we no longer have room for it at our station. It still runs and pumps with no issue. We purchased it from the military about 3 years ago - it was used by them as an Air Force Refueler (you can look up R11 Refueler). 

The tank technically has capacity for 6,000 gallons, but filling it with 6,000 gallons of water exceeds the vehicles GVWR. As mentioned, it was built to carry fuel for the Air Force - hence the discrepancy.  

Details:
6,000 gallon baffled tank (reminder it can only carry 5,000 gallons of water)
Cummins 94 C8.3-275 engine
Allison MD 3060P Transmission
600gpm PTO driven pump
We are the first civilian owners outside of the military 
We've had it for about 3 years and replumbed it slightly for fire use (removed the water/fuel separator) 
Only issue is one of the airbags in the rear leaks once it's turned off - probably an easy fix
Has a small hose reel on the side 
No AC or backup camera
Volvo Chassis
No additional equipment going with it
