ffjsb, two departments in our district have these, when they make the conversion to water tenders the pumps were changed to provide both pressure and drafting capabilities. They also added a dump valve for use as a traditional tender. Just an FYI here. And by the way, they are great trucks and so far have been used extensively in our very HOT dry summer.
