Nah just wondering how effective it would be for pump and roll or to use a handline fighting grass fires and small bush fires. We carry a big CET pump in the back of the pumper that has two 2 1/2" discharges that we can fill tankers with this is what it looks like:

But I think it'll be a struggle to convince the Chief to install it in the tanker even with a quick connect setup. So that's why I ask how well a 3" pump can push water through a 1 1/2" line. If I had my way I'd put a remote control monitor on the front bumper if not a full deck gun on top of the tank and big pump like this: http://www.fire-pump.com/pfp-26hp-DSL-MR.html
