Classy Truck of May

This month we feature Imperial Western Products Pumping Division

Tino Garza operates this 1995 Peterbilt 357 with a 4,000-gallon aluminum tank from Longhorn Tank. Purchased from International Machinery in British Columbia, the truck is powered by a Cummins M11 engine and 13-speed transmission. The tank features two 24-inch manways on top to aid in cleaning and sampling. Another 24-inch manway is at the rear for cleanout. The intake is a 4-inch valve, while discharge is through a 6-inch valve for quick emptying. The truck has a Masport HXL400 vacuum pump. The truck is also outfitted with aluminum toolboxes and a 4,000-psi jetter for clogged lines. Graphics were created by EFX Signs. Other features include aluminum wheels, CD player with satellite radio and air-ride seats. The rig is used for collecting waste cooking oil from restaurants.
