we had this discussion at work about the bottle in the tank, something we don't do in the city but have seen it at brush fires. Great explanation and great video

What is the purpose of a tarp under the drop tank?

Great video! Why was there a bowling pin in the tank, though?

+ArmonkFD1111 Thanks! The bowling pin helps the low level strainer out when the water level gets low. It prevents the water from going into a whirlpool and maintains a vacuum for a lot longer than if it wasn't in there. We've seen a whirlpool as high as 1-2 feet (which is a lot of water left if you take into consideration how big a dump tank is) and then we lose prime. Its a cheap and easy way to make your prime last as long as possible. Thanks for checking out the video and if you think it'll help others out, please feel free to share the link! Take care and be safe.

@Gregg Schulz to stop large object from getting in I saw it before water wasn’t getting into the truck so they took off the hose and a bottle flied out
