134 Gallon/ 510 Liters Flying Water Series Tank Fol-Da-Tank (MPN: FWS-134)

Description

The 134 Gallon / 510 Liter Flying Water Series Tank (MPN: FWS-134), known as the “Flyer,” is a multifunctional helicopter water tank engineered for aerial firefighting, emergency response, and portable water transport. Its pyramid-shaped blivets and heavy-duty vinyl construction provide durability, stability, and reliability during transport and deployment. The tank is designed to be transportable by helicopter or truck, allowing rapid deployment to remote or difficult-to-access locations.

The Flyer requires routine inspections and maintenance to ensure safe operation. Operators should check all heat-sealed seams, harness stitching, D-rings, and fill caps before and after each flight. Stress testing, proper storage, and adherence to helicopter load guidelines are critical. Tanks are recommended for replacement after 3–4 years of frequent use, and the Flyer comes with a 2-year warranty covering seams and UV delamination.
