Just stopped in to say hi and see if I can get some help for a friend.... he is one of the best techs around and a source of most of my information in years past. He is expanding his own business into the chemical end and would appreciate your help... I would appreciate your helping him...

An Open Letter: To all of you who have let me prattle on about what little I may know, I thank you. As with anything in life the end comes to us all. In this case I am leaving Epps Products to pursue another opportunity that has presented itself. I will no longer be posting to any BBS...

Well this weekend Canada will play the 91st Grey Cup emblematic of professional football superiority. Yes, 91 years of Grey Cup, what is the Super Bowl at now? 38 or so? Got some catching up to do. Real men only need three chances to make 10 yards. Real men play on a field 5 yards wider...

Remember that some Dot jurisdictions MAY require you to placcard your vehicle when carrying that much fuel. Also be aware that there are OSHA regulations on the types of container for various fuels including the colour they are supposed to be. It is not that a manufacturer does not think of...

The PSI rating of any pump is based on the ability of the weakest component of the pump to withstand the pressure over a given time without failing. In other words it is the ability of the pump to resist the forces of the pressure. Where does the pressure come from? I will get to that in a...

Nothing against Mark but he is in California and may not be convenient to your timetable and geography. Props to you and your new Guv :) You should receive an e-mail with a NJ parts source in a minute. Hope this helps? Cheers.

OK here we go... here are the numbers using a standard hydraulic formula. Flow x Square root of Pressure / 18.92 4 @ 4000 = 4 X 63.25 / 18.92 = 13.37# impact force 2 @ 8000 = 2 X 89.44 / 18.92 = 9.45# impact force 8 @ 2000 = 8 X 44.72 / 18.92 = 18.91# impact force As you can see...

Depending on your jurisdiction you may run into placcard requirements when carrying that much fuel. Check with your DoT to see what you are allowed to do and the type and quantity of paperwork you are required to carry and keep up-to-date. Hope this helps? Cheers.

If, as you say, you had a 2.3 injector then you had the wrong size. You need, as you have discovered, a 2.1 (most likely properly installed on your other unit) in order to work. The 2.3 nozzle works from 4 to 6 GPM on 50' of hose. If you are longer it will not work. The 2.1 nozzle works...

Well it is that time again and we are looking at products for new production. Long question short I am looking to find out what you want in a skid mount or portable pressure washer. Volume Flow, ooops, I meant Pressure Power source Burner Features Options Etcetera Thanks in...

Apparently the Ford solenoid is extremely durable and inexpensive, especially compared to the OEM part. If the unit uses a push button starter there is a possibility that it is sticking and keeping the solenoid energized causing it to function even when the engine is running. Therefore if...

It could be a couple of things... -if your water tank is not baffled then it could be the water shifting about until it catches up with the truck -the other could be something called driveline lash where all of the components may be within specification but the combined wear allows for...

Pick the one with the most GPM therefore Horsepower. Also choose the one that has the best after sale support for warranty and parts. Karcher will use proprietary components which will be more difficult and expensive to locate. AR and Comet pumps have better parts and service...

GET YOURSELF A 50' HOSE NOW!!!! 25' WILL tick you off, no one ever buys a 25' garden hose to clean their car because it is too short to be effective. The same applies to a high pressure hose. Remember that warranties are skewed to the advantage of the manufacturer so there will be all...

Harvey, Harvey, Harvey Let me reiterate a few things... Briggs Intek motors (as supplied on this unit) have a poor reputation; ask ANY small engine repair guy. In some marketing math circles 3.2 GPM IS 4 GPM in the miracle of rounding. 10 hp gasoline = 6.67 ELECTRIC brake horsepower...
