Anything happening about this? An ATV?

why so small of a tank for an F550?, seems odd to see so many of these trucks carrying less than 350 gallons, even with the advantages of Class foam and or CAFS (not that I'm sold on cafs for wildland use). My station just put in service an F550 (standard cab) with a 375 gallon water tank (aluminum diamond plate) with flatbed, tool boxes and equipment, it scaled out at 13,750 lbs, well below vehicle gross
