Wow! Things really fly now. This used to be one hot board. Hope it COMES BACK ALIVE again!

I recently had a shurflo that we sprayed Sh with die. In an effort to keep working and complete jobs I purchased a pump up sprayer with no pressure releif valve on it. Well my son got carried away and over pumped it, blowing the hose off the tank and sending Sh out the opening. We were...

Wiz, Can you give me a ball park life expectancy of a 16 and 18 HP Briggs engine? Really looking for an hour figure. Both engines are pushing burners and I beleive are 12 volt. We will assume normal maintenance has been pulled.

WIZ, Glad to see you are stll out there. Missed your wisdom. Hope your business is doing well! Anything new to pass on?

My intentions here are to ask a question and to jump start this part of the board. I do not use a water tank. We always have plenty of water available. I want the benefit of having the unloader dumping water in bypass. This will keep the pump cool indefinately by only allowing fresh water...

Is he still out there for questions???????

Wiz and Fellow PWers, I have tried this and it works fantastic. Not for all jobs but can be highly beneficial on certain types. I would say 80% of the time spent on a job is rinsing. Improving gpm by 75% can reduce job time tremedously. Have a question though. Two d.d. machines 3000 psi...

Anyone know where I can find some info on theses pumps. An associate gave me a used one that had previuosly been used in a car wash. This design has exposed pistons with sliding seals on them. This pump was made in Japan and was manufactured by Yamar diesel. Painted red and looks H.D. Age...

Ok had this problem and must pass it on. If you have a psd and are in a sustained cold climate for several days never let the fuel tank get below 1/4. What happened to me was that it was a needles width below the 1/4. The fuel will start gelling on the pump pick up. If left above the 1/4 mark...

Has anyone ever tried to use one of these on your belt drive pressure washer? Should easily keep the 12v battery charged. Any input would be great.

What are your preferances and why. Does one transfer heat better than the other? Do coils last longer in one than the other? Is one easier to to service than the other? Could two horizontals burners run out of a 6'x12' tandeem enclosed trailer with the ramp door, side door open and 14"x14"...

Test

Wiz, I have a 110v Farleys steam/pw that I am converting over to a heater only. Cleaned pump,diesel tank, replaced fuel lines, filter, pump and the intrnal filter ect. The Wayne burner runs great but I only get a 65 degree rise in temp. The nozzle is a 1.25 gph. I will be running a 4 gpm...

Just wanted to remind folks that any trailer over a 3500# capacity should have a break away break and safety chains. A good man was killed yesterday when a goose neck trailer came loose. The hitch in the truck broke loose from its mounting hardware. The trailer came loose and rammed head on...

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into is board. Good luck and god bless you!
