Yes we carry a 2000 gallon dump tank on the pumper, 2000 gallon on the tanker we have now and the new one is coming with a 3000 gallon dump tank. We use a 4 inch pvc pipe configuration that looks a little like longhorn horns to siphon from one tank to the other so we are only drafting from one tank but really drawing from all.
Our LDH is all 4 inch. We have 700 feet on the pumper. Some of the local towns we mutual aid with have hydrants. We carry storz fittings on the tankers to adapt the hydrants for filling to our 4 inch system.
we also carry about 1000 feet of 2 1/2 and 1000 of 1 3/4 on the pumper.
What do you guys do, worst case if all power is out and no water is flowing?
