Gents,
Up here in New Hampshire when a former fuel tanker is used to haul
water, usually for swimming pools the owner paints WATER in 12 inch or
higher letters on all four side of the vehicle to differengiate between a
real fuel tank truck. If I had a ex-Military fuel tanker it might not look
correct to the purists but you could replace Diesel Fuel/MoGas with WATER in
the appropiate places.
