Dongfeng D3S 12,000 L 4×2 Water Bowser
A source-checked water bowser / sprinkler truck positioned for road spraying and municipal watering. The page separates nominal capacity, chassis data and working-system details, while flagging right-hand drive, legal payload, engineering configuration and Kenya compliance items that still need confirmation before quotation.
Core capabilities in operation
Parameters are translated into practical working results. Any estimate depends on the listed operating conditions and is not a performance guarantee.
| Parameter | Working result | Calculation conditions | Factors that change the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tank / water system | 12,000 L | Source-stated configuration; final build and legal fill volume must be confirmed | Tank material, mounted equipment, axle loads and registration limits affect usable payload. |
| Chassis layout | 4×2 | Source record | Confirm right-hand drive availability and final chassis code for Kenya. |
| Planning coverage example | About 6,000–12,000 m², or roughly 2,000–4,000 m of one 3 m-wide lane | Calculated from nominal source capacity at 1–2 L/m² application rate and 3 m treated width | Illustrative estimate only; actual output changes with nozzle setting, pump pressure, speed, terrain, overlap, wind and legal fill volume. |

Configuration options and trade-offs
- Tank capacity vs legal payload: Nominal tank volume may exceed the legally usable water load after body, equipment and axle limits are applied.
- Chassis and power options: Use the source options as a shortlist only; confirm the exact chassis, engine or motor and transmission for the order.
- Water system: Pump, cannon, spray bar and valve configuration must match the stated duty and water quality.
Operating fit
Suitable conditions
- Municipal road spraying
- Construction dust control
- Landscape watering
Not recommended for
- Potable-water delivery without a compliant tank
- Full nominal fill where legal payload is lower than water mass
- Off-road routes needing driven front axles
Source-checked configuration, with final-build items clearly separated
Dongfeng D3S 12,000 L 4×2 Water Bowser is positioned for road spraying and municipal watering. The source record lists 4×2 drive layout, 12,000 L capacity information and model DFV5163GPSGP6D.
For a Kenya quotation, confirm right-hand drive availability, legal axle and payload limits, tank material, pump and spray layout, final dimensions and registration requirements. Nominal tank capacity is not a guarantee of the legally usable water load.
Verification and support
Vehicle data is mapped from the source product record. Final payload, steering side, emissions, selected equipment, documents and destination-market compliance must be confirmed in the signed technical schedule.
