The DIN specification for a TLF16 actually called for a 2400 liter water tank. These Benz L1113 water tenders were virtually the standard German water tender from the early 1960s to the mid 1970s, until the forward control F1017 tended to replace them. Most of them, like this example, were 4X4. TLF16s on Magirus and MAN chassis were also to be found, but were less commonplace.

Intertesting to compare to the Bedford TK, which was the most popular water tender in the UK at the same time.
