    Mounting a Water Tank on LMTV The LMTV is our only choice since the FMTV's are not available. Most of the fire departments are using 400-500 gallon tanks on LMTV's distributed recently. We will use baffle balls and that will help reduce shifting at about 40%. I do understand your concerns and I...
