Clean Water Tank
The forward tank on the truck chassis provides
storage for the clean water supply. The tank is a
modular design constructed of polyethylene ma-
terial to provide a constant supply of clean, fresh
water to the charge water pump. A site tube pro-
vides a quick view of the water level from outside
the truck during filling operations.
An expandable bladder inside the freshwater tank
provides a reservoir for wastewater pumped to
the bladder from the debris cage drain system
during operation. As the clean water in the tank
is consumed, wastewater from the debris drain
system is pumped into the bladder which expands
into the space created in the tank as the clean
water is consumed. Refer to the Debris cage and
Debris bag at the end of this section for additional
information on the wastewater drain system.
The clean water fill connection on the passenger
side of the tank accommodates large hoses that
are typically connected to a metered source like
a fire hydrant to expedite the filling of the tank.
Operators must always monitor the tank closely
during filling operations as the flow of water from
