200 Gallon/ 900 Liters Flying Water Series Tank Fol-Da-Tank (MPN: FWS-200)

Description

The 200 Gallon / 900 Liter Flying Water Series Tank (MPN: FWS-200), part of Fol-Da-Tank’s “Flyer” line, is a multifunctional helicopter water tank designed for aerial firefighting, decontamination, and portable water transport. Its pyramid-shaped blivet design provides superior stability during flight and ground operations. Constructed from heavy-duty vinyl with reinforced seams, this tank is built to withstand rugged environments while remaining lightweight and easy to handle.

Engineered for helicopter or truck transport, the Flyer comes with a heavy-duty harness, Kevlar-thread stitching, and sling harness webbing for secure aerial lifting. Optional potable water configurations make it useful not only for firefighting but also for supplying safe drinking water in disaster relief or emergency situations. 

The FWS-200 is backed by a 2-year warranty covering heat-sealed seams and UV delamination, ensuring long-term dependability. With proper care, this tank can perform reliably for years, though Fol-Da-Tank recommends replacement after 3–4 years of heavy use. Emergency patch kits are also available to keep operations running smoothly.
