Tote in the Truck

We purchased a 275 gallon IBC Tote to use in the back of the Chevy one ton truck.  The intent is to transport water and use it to supply a portable gasoline powered water pump feeding multiple water hoses for use in wetting down terrain and first response fire fighting.

We set it all up in the back yard to try it out. Everything worked as expected.

180 gallons of water lasted for 33 minutes with output from two hoses going full blast.
Honda water pump has 1 1/2" input and output lines
Room for up to four output hoses. We are using commercial 3/4" hose

Julie trying it all out.
