From what I hear there is a waiting list for many new appliances.
eg Geraldton VF&RS are still waiting for an appliance to replace their single cab GPA.

At what age must the pumpers be replaced ?

For a bus in perth its 15 years no matter what the condition of the bus is, just curious to know how FESA work..wether the pumpers have a age and/or a condition limit before they must be replaced.

I didn't think you meant Transperth buses, they are a lot older.
