Section Il. DESCRIPTION AND DATA
1-4. Description
a. General. The Tank and Pump Unit, Model
2000, consists of a 50 gpm (gallons per minute)
pumping assembly (fig. 1-1), two 600-gallon
tanks (FSN 5430-58-2529) and related items.
It is designed for use with 2 1/2 ton, 6X6 cargo
truck 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 is
used in the field as a bulk carrier and dispenser.
It carries 1,200 gallons. The purpose of the tank
and pump unit is to convert a general purpose
military cargo vehicle into a bulk refueler for
other military vehicles or aircraft.
b. Pumping Assembly. The pumping assembly
of the Tank and Pump Unit, Model 2000, in-
cludes the pump, engine, filter/separator, reels
and other related items of equipment (fig. 1-2
and 1-3).
c. Pump. The pump (fig. 1-4) is a self-
priming unit, with the impeller screwed on the
extension of the engine crankshaft. The pump is
coupled to the engine by an intermediate coupling
and seal. Both pump and engine are mounted on
a base plate to facilitate removal and use in
auxiliary 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. A
radio-shielded magneto supplies the ignition
spark, and a governor controls the engine speeds
by 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 per
square inch). Both solids and water (free from
entrained water) are removed from the fuel
through coalescing and filtering media of the ele-
ments inside the filter/separator. The filter/sep-
arator has four canisters and filter elements, two
pressure gages, sight glass, and two drains. Solid
contaminants are deposited in the elements. The
emulsified or entrained water coalesces within the
elements and settles to the deck plate where it
is removed, periodically, through the upper drain,
as free water. Clean product builds up in the
shell, and is pumped to the hose reels. Refer to
figure 1-5 for the flow of the pumped product.
