what do you mean it's set up so you pull underneath???
all you need to do is buy a gas engine h20 pump...... i use a 5hp
2'' discharge into the tank....
if you go this way take all precautions in keeping as much dirt out of your tank as possiable.
and after re-reading your post i guess the big question i have
where is the h20? are you talking about >>>>creek>>river>>lake
where are you going to get your h20..............
food for thought>>>>>>>> dont always depend on using your customers h20>>>>if you got that big of tank find a creek and pump from it .......
i know now that summer is here there is always talk about drought....if you haul your own from a creek>river.ETC>>>
no-body can shut you down....but if you are using hosehold h20 and there is a restriction on useage.......and use it any ways because you need to work you can and will be fined........
@ least thats the law around here!!!!!!!!!!!
i haul all my h20 >>>> even in the midst of a severe drought and I never had any problems.........as a matter of fact i do alot of state trucks for our local >>>>> D.E.P <<<<<<<
MAYBE I WENT OVERBOARD ON YOUR QUESTION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Our units carry 1000 gallons. If you click on this url http://www.tps-inc.com/inside3redtruk.jpg you will see the inside of our unit with 2-500 gallons poly tanks that we have hooked together. We have a 8" manhole in the roof. One of the places that we fill at delivers at a rate of about 400 gpm!
We also have a 3/4" line hooked into our systems so that we can fill our tanks with a garden hose and or run directly to our pumps.

<font color=e87400>Don't forget fire hydrants, you can go to your local city water dept, rent a Hydrant Meter and your in there, they water is real cheap. You can get a 1 " or a 2"
1" will fill you up in about 40min
2" will fill ya up in about 4 minutes
You just need to go and buy a Special wrench, and appropriate plumbing and hose to set it up.
