LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, AZ (CBS5) -

You could get a military fuel tanker of your own for as low as $150.

The Department of Defense is looking to sell three fuel tanker trucks used at Luke Air Force Base.

Government Liquidation spokeswoman Melissa Gieringer said the trucks are not used by the military anymore so they are going up on the DoD auction site: GovLiquidation.com, a Scottsdale-based company.

Gieringer said the tankers, made by OshKosh Truck Corporation, each have a 6,000 gallon jet fuel capacity and is powered by a six-cylinder diesel engine.

Bidding begins on Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 10 p.m. MST. and closes on Friday, Feb. 15 at 3 p.m. MST.
