Hi mate, do you have any examples? Where did you see one? What did it have on the side? was it red or white? Large 4000 litre tanker or a Land Cruiser with slip on tray?

I think he is refering to the DEC trucks, with the mini light bars, half amber half red.

I would have to agree with them being DEC appliances.

i saw a nissan patrol ute on the freeway yesterday morning and it had a half red half orange beacon on top. it had government plates and GN 01 on the side. i think the tank was hidden behind the big toolboxes and it had a hose reel on the drivers side. also there was a speaker mounted above what looked to be the pump on the passenger side
