			* Be sure the tank frame is fully extended and that the liner is spread out.
			* Secure the drains to the frame in the upright position.
			* Orient the tank so that at least one frame is downhill if possible. This makes draining the tank easier.
			* Connect at least one 2 1/2" threaded fill ports to the tank. This lets engines fill the tank by pumping, preferably through a 3" line.

Positioning

	== Positioning ==		== Positioning ==
			The tank needs to be near enough to the pumper that one or two lengths of hard suction can reach. In the simplest configuration this pumper is also the attack engine. Due to space constraints this may not always be the case and this pumper maybe relay pumping water from the drop tank to the attack engine.

			Key placement considerations:
			* Try to place the droptank on level ground. Any tilt of the tank reduces its capacity.
			* Try not to place the drop tank on sharp objects. They may create holes and leaks in the tank.
			* Consider access from water supply tenders and engines. Can they get to the tank, drop their water, and get back out again?

			=== Water Tender Credit ===
			In order to get a water tender credit from WSRB we must be able to show competence. The basics:

			1) From the time the engine applies the parking brake we have 5 minutes to deploy the drop tank and show water.

			2) During the operation we must flow 250gpm for 30 minutes uninterrupted supplied only by our own apparatus using the drop tank.
