Thanks for pointing out the suction hose reel. Is this a vacuum tanker? And how many litres/gallons does it carry?
Portable pond(s)?

From the Leicester F&RS Website

14000 litre capacity tank that will contain 12000 litres of water and 1000 litres of foam in 2 split compartments (can be interconnected). Two anti-surge baffles within water compartment.
Filling time of 7 to 10 minutes through 2 hydrant connections (1400 to 2000 litres per minute) depending on mains pressure.
Hose reels (nearside and offside) are free wheel off and hydraulic rewind with 25m of light duty 4 inch suction hoses in 5 x 5m lengths.
Two 8000 litre inflatable dams will be carried.

Good idea with the suction hose reel! They do seem to have gone overboard with the battenburg style on it though- it looks like a Saxon shield!

David!Eys, it´s looks like a vacuumtanker used for suck up dirt from the gullys!What company built this vehicle?In mine opinion, a Water tanker is built with a 4 sided tank, not a round.
