Descriptiona. General. The Tank and Pump Unit, Model2000, consists of a 50 gpm (gallons per minute)pumping assembly (fig. 1-1), two 600-gallontanks (FSN 5430-58-2529) and related items.It is designed for use with 2 1/2 ton, 6X6 cargotruck M-34, M-35 and M-211, and with 5 ton,6X6 cargo trucks M-41 and M-54. When install-ed in a cargo truck, the tank and pump unit isused in the field as a bulk carrier and dispenser.It carries 1,200 gallons. The purpose of the tankand pump unit is to convert a general purposemilitary cargo vehicle into a bulk refueler forother military vehicles or aircraft.b. Pumping Assembly. The pumping assemblyof the Tank and Pump Unit, Model 2000, in-cludes the pump, engine, filter/separator, reelsand other related items of equipment (fig. 1-2and 1-3).c. Pump. The pump (fig. 1-4) is a self-priming unit, with the impeller screwed on theextension of the engine crankshaft. The pump iscoupled to the engine by an intermediate couplingand seal. Both pump and engine are mounted ona base plate to facilitate removal and use inauxiliary pumping operations (para 2-11d).d. Engine. The engine (fig. 1-2) is a one-cylinder,4-cycle,air-cooled,hand-cranked,Wisconsin Gasoline Engine, Model MBKND. Aradio-shielded magneto supplies the ignitionspark, and a governor controls the engine speedsby varying throttle openings to suit pump loads.A gasoline tank of one gallon capacity is pro-vided.e. Filter/Separator. The filter/separator (fig.1-3) is a vertical, 50 gpm unit designed for maxi-mum operating pressure of 40 psi (pounds persquare inch). Both solids and water (free fromentrained water) are removed from the fuelthrough coalescing and filtering media of the ele-ments inside the filter/separator. The filter/sep-arator has four canisters and filter elements, twopressure gages, sight glass, and two drains. Solidcontaminants are deposited in the elements. Theemulsified or entrained water coalesces within theelements and settles to the deck plate where itis removed, periodically, through the upper drain,as free water. Clean product builds up in theshell, and is pumped to the hose reels. Refer tofigure 1-5 for the flow of the pumped product.1-1
