2stacksuperdog Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I like how it says Vehicle was driven onto lot then Vehicle does not start or run. Must have been fun driving onto lot without running or its been sitting there a long time. 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31617-mack-air-force-fuel-tanker/#findComment-189501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 the DE Mil process is a lot of red tape and when they go to inspect it if it wont start they just mark will not start/run, probably dead batteries, if it was down they would have fixed it then parked it for a year or two then sold it they have procedures that make almost every vehicle get repaired no matter how old until its deemed excess then it sits in a lot till they get their paperwork done. I think one of these would be a great piece of history, I mean come on military Mack to take to a truck show most people never knew existed.

bulldogboy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Quite a few of these Macks, and Dodges, became fire tankers after their military service was over. While they may not be the optimum fire tanker, they probably work for a small department that cannot afford anything fancier (those departments do exist). bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31617-mack-air-force-fuel-tanker/#findComment-195690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADDOG93 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 A lot of them got in trouble and rolled them over in there new life as fire tankers. Water is heaver then fuel and because they never left the tar mack no baffles ether on most.
