New 2800 gallon interior coated polished aluminum water tank installed on existing 1996 International 4900 chassis with low mileage. The tank has a sump for future use if a fiire pump is desired. Added is a vacuum/pressure system providing more versatility and speed in supplying water, 3 air operated water valves with heat, Firovac Power Portable Tank Bracket with 2 portable tanks, four 6" quick couple 15' hoses, and several miscellaneous fittings.

This unit was brought up to current standards at a more cost effective price than a new unit at current prices.

This 1996 tanker had a stainless steel water tank that was leaking badly in spite of several attempts to repair it.With low milage on the chassis, the Department decided to replace the water tank.

Complicated filling/loading. Lots of resources, equipment, personnel, set up, and tear down.

Uncomplicated fillling/loading. Less resurces, equipment, psersonnel, set up and tear down.

Breath new life into a faltering unit.  Often a fire department truck will have low mileage, but the tank has seen its better days.  This non-vacuum stainless steel tank originally purchased in the 1990's on an International 4900 was severely leaking.  Many attempts to repair it were unsuccessful.  Instead of discarding the entire unit, the department decided to replace the tank and add new features. 

The tank on this unit was replaced with a 2850-gallon interior coated polished aluminum tank with a 15 year non-prorated warranty.  Also added were a complete vacuum system, 3 air operated water valves and 48' of 6" suction hose and a power down portable tank bracket with 2 tanks.

Instead of discarding, consider reviving.

An added feature is a power down portable tank bracket by Firovac that contains 2 portable tanks.  They are easily deployed because they are within reach and powers down 180 degrees so tanks do not have to be lifted up over a ridge. This is available only on firovac units because there is enough space to accommodate it.
