Info needed on M217 tanker
Can anyone give me the fuel tank capacity of the CDN version of the M217 (fuel tanker). I cannot find any details on line or in my collection of books. Note this is a different style than the US version M217. The truck cab data plates say M211 not 217. All help appreciated.

It is nice to see that a comparatively rare vehicle is being preserved, the tank capacity was 1000 gallons. Would it be possible to have a photograph of the data plate?

If I remember correctly DND ordered/received M135 cargos, M211 cargos, M216 Dump truck, M133 cab and chassis (single rear wheels) and M207 chassis (dual rear wheels). The M133 and M207 trucks received the specialty bodies ie Vans/refuellers/Kitchens/etc. It’s possible this M211 was repurposed as a refueller

Thanks for your input, I will try to post a few more pictures when it warms up a bit..couple of days I hope. The last owner told me this vehicle originated from Camp Borden where it was used to fuel up helicopters. I have no idea if that is correct but thats what I was told.

Yes, the M217CDN was used to refuel helicopters.

That looks like a truck I saw in a yard in the vicinity of Orangeville several years ago. I'm pretty sure the truck was used by 450 Sqn to refuel their Chinook helicopters in the field.

450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron (the two flaked off little pips on the top of the rectangle) 450 was in St Hubert then disbanded, and reestablished with Chinooks in Petawawa. If my Goofle skills are up to speed, they were flying Kiowas and Twin Hueys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/450_Ta...opter_Squadron Sometime used a bit of artistic licence with a wheel and staff to depict the echelon tail. Off road mobility required to top up tactical helos, but not crazy cross country mobility.
