How much will it hold if it leaks?
You can put a lot more in if it leaks.

Well I was kinda looking for a truck and stumbled upon it in the classifieds...
At the time had about that much money in the bank
I think I somehow scored at about 30k USD. Thats about what the non-rally dump trucks go for.
If you're too cheap for a Mercedes you could find an Iveco-Magirus 6x6 dump truck with the Deutz aircooled V8 engine for about half as much or less.

You found it in the US? Thats a raaare find! 30k is about what it looks like. Not dirt cheap, but the earity of it.
Anyway, absolutely love it.

It's a french truck and I'm in France :D
Similar rally raid trucks usually advertise for anywhere between 35k and 60k euros thats about 42.5k USD and up.
Dump trucks are a lot cheaper but more beaten up and no CTIS
Let me know when you're ready to pull the trigger

Badass man.

That's good. Normally, you only test at a few psi on a fuel tank. Sometimes they turn in to beach balls.

industry standard for holding tank (fuel, water, etc. not meant to be pressurized) is 2-3lbs.
once upon a time a contractor demanded he test a 10k gal water holding tank i made at 12psi. it was 12' diameter and pulled the mounting bolt from the pad and lifted the base flange 7-9". after holding for 24hrs, passed... it sounded like a bomb went off when he hit the dump valve. dont over pressure tanks.

Thanks for the info.
I thought a catastrophic failure would make a spectacular campfire story.
Guess I'll have to find something else.

Now that my old truck is gone I need to get done with this one. I've been busy with a few odds and ends but nothing spectacular to show here.

Its still in storage waiting for the mounting subframe to get built. The red thing is a fly jib add-on that goes on the end of it and makes a crazy long articulated fishing pole

I've beaten sheet metal over a tube by hand to do similar. Will have to remember your "press brake" trick in the future. 👍
