A 3,000-gallon fire tanker primarily consists of the tank itself, the water it holds, and the chassis of the vehicle. Water weighs approximately 8.34 pounds per gallon, so 3,000 gallons of water alone would weigh about 25,020 pounds. The weight of the empty tanker and its chassis can vary, but typically ranges from 15,000 to 25,000 pounds, making the total weight of a loaded 3,000-gallon fire tanker approximately 40,000 to 50,000 pounds.
