The Tank holds 1000 litres and fills in about 30 seconds. It's fitted with a 65 litre Foam tank as well with adjustable injection volume controlled via a panel in the cockpit. Doors have 2 settings, full drop or half. Snokel unit detaches in about 2 minutes and can be stored in the side locker (machine can then be used for recon. etc) and the whole tank in about 15 mins.
Whole unit is about 120 kgs empty. Works really well and when fitted to a B3 Squirrel is very effective. Will out-perform a BK117 in a similar config.
