It's a "well tank", which means that water is held in a small tank between the frames. Capacity is very limited as a result. I think the idea is to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible.

Cornwall is not English. Even in 1546 "Britaine is divided into four parts whereof one is inhabited by Englishemen, the other by Scottes, the third by Wallesmen and the fowerth by CORNISH peoples" - Polydore Vergil - plenty more quotes where that came from. See cornishnotenglish dot com
"what the fuck hell our you on about" - is that supposed to be English?
He called Cornwall English. Cornwall is not, and has never been a proper part of England. In the 1970s, the British Government's own Kilbrandon Commission actually admitted this. These are facts, not the illiterate, unintelligible rant of someone who can't write their own language properly.
"Cornwall has always been English" - aye right. Names like Polperro, Penzance, Pendewey and Bodmin, all make perfect sense in the English language do they? Well, they do in Cornish. Get a clue.
Pop down to your local library, while you're brushing up your Cornish history. They should be able to tell you about adult literacy classes. That should iron out the problems in your spelling and punctuation. p.s. If you're using mobile phone speak, why use "our" instead of "are"? Surely "r" would be shorter!

If you're so English, how come you can't write the language properly?
