    Just wondering how heavy an Abbey Slurry tanker weighs? A 1500 or 1600 gallon one. Can anyone tell me?

    Every 1000gals of water is about 4.5 ton, so 1500 gal is 6.75 ton, + tanker approx 3 ton, so ballpark around 10 ton, depends on wheels, tyre spec etc.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    The standard abbey 1600gln tanker is 2400kg empty with a capacity of 7264 litres so if you take a litre a kilo as is water, that's a max weight of 9624kg.
