    Ferro got a tank

    load of WVO at 7.5lbs per gallon, 5000 gallons- 37,500lbs. Empty Trailer weight- 13,000lbs Tractor weight (m818)- 19,644lbs Total- 70,144lbs WVO doesn't need placards. Before I start backhauling the bio blend (which is placarded) I would like to get a m915 and I still need my hazmat...

    Ferro got a tank

    It still has probably 10 or so gallons of old JP-8 in the lines. Plan to drain it out and burn it in the deuce. I did a 300 mile trip, 1/3 bobtailing, on one 55 gallon tank, and still had some left in the tank. I'm sure it will be a whole tank one way when she's loaded!

    Ferro got a tank

    lol I've gotten the 'let's make a grill out of it!" comment from several of my friends already! Oh, I don't trust anything like that emmado, I was in the Navy as an oil king! I plan to install tank level indicators and a panel at the valve tree so I can see how full it is. Just floats and...

    Ferro got a tank

    I will probably pull the wheel off and see if I can tell anything from the outside- it might just be a bent rim. LOL I might have to get my doubled endorsement and haul it, and Neil's houch to AK. No worries about fuel!:driver:

    Ferro got a tank

    I could wash it out and bring it full of sweet tea, but if it's wreckerman's tea, the sugar requirements would have me collecting bags of it now until the rally! Westy, I've got the tanker. Don't need hazmat for WVO, but I will get it anyway, as they are talking about having me backhaul...

    Ferro got a tank

    I had a tire wobbling- somehow. It's inflated and the lugnuts are tight, but he wanted to let me know. Also, he's an old highschool buddy of mine, so he wanted to look at my new 'toy':-D

    Ferro got a tank

    It was a GL find. They sold 15 in a big lot all by themselves. Apparently, it was Depot rebuilt in 11/04, and they stenciled FLAMMABLE and JP-8 on the sides and corners, then put the layup foil over all the stencils.

    Ferro got a tank

    ER!!! An August 1979 M967 5,000 gallon tanker to be truthful! After our whirlwind 650+ mile m814 truck recovery last Thurs, Friday, and Sat, EMD567 (JP) and I just wanted one more 5 ton ride- or not really. But I had to go to the Goose Creek weapons station to get my tanker. Here are the...
