Philomont operates two tankers - "Tanker 8" and "Reserve Tanker 8". The stations in the West End that received one of the new county tankers also made the decision to keep the current tanker that they already had running. One reason for doing this is because many of the homes in the rural areas have difficult acces to them....the smaller tankers help in that area.
Tanker 8 at Philomont is a 1996 Freightliner FL80 built by Semo. It has a 750/1850. As mentioned earlier, Philomont is specing out a engine/tanker. In addition to replacing the FWD engine, the department also plans on selling this Freighliner. Until then, Station 8 plans on keeping this tanker.
