Condition report:

The tanker is in heavily weathered, used condition. There is significant cosmetic wear throughout, including extensive paint loss, surface oxidation, and corrosion across the tank and chassis. The red exterior finish is peeling to reveal a yellow undercoat. Biological growth and moss are present on various surfaces. The mechanical condition of the Hertell pump and valves is untested. Tyres show signs of age and weathering but appear to hold air.
