Drop Tank

Droptank with water

The droptank is used by the TPF-2 Tanker to temporary drop water for the use of an engine. Once the tanker drops water, this allows the tanker to refill at another location.

Use

SETTING UP DROP TANK/ DROPPING WATER:

1. Once the tanker is full of water, turn on the pump via the 'Pump' menu in the GUI. 2. In to the 'Equipment' menu, select 'Drop Tank'. This will rez the droptank which will be empty and ready for water. 3. Go back to the 'Pump' menu and choose 'Water Dump'.

The tanker will start dumping all available water into the tank directly behind it. If the water in the drop tank is exhausted you can back another tanker full of water up to the tank as it was when it originally dropped water and repeat this process to refill the tank.

USING WATER FROM DROP TANK:

Refer to Draft Float for instructions on how to access the water from the drop tank.

To remove a drop tank, click on it and select "REMOVE" (note you must be in the same group to remove connectors).
