Go with flow over pressure if using a whirlaway.
A gearbox driven 15LPM machine will not produce more than 250 Bar / 3625PSI
A gearbox Driven 21LPM machine will not produce more than 200 Bar / 3000PSI (Most won't even do that because of the way they are manufactured)

Neither machine should cost more than £1300 odd with long hoses etc

I say WILL NOT thats not strictly true - you can get more out of the engines but they WILL NOT pass a Honda load test and should you ever need warranty the first thing the dealer will do is a load test - if you fail that (there is not enough range left on the govenor) your warranty is void.

It's very sneaky but saves honda a fortune in warranty every year.... B*******

Think this may explain the twin pipe suction  hose.

How would ya go about fitting the inlet hose into the lower part of the tank or is there a fitting you could add to the tank to supply machine, and how would you prevent any crap being sucked through

I'd use a bulkhead fitting depending on the type of tank. Essentially you drill a hole and have a long threaded hollow tube with two rubber washers which you tighter against the tank to seal it - on the inside you can then put a basic mesh foot filter of any size and then on the outlet your hose barb to connect the outlet hose. :)

As always Ben........ Top post and great info -- CHEERS  ;)

does anyone have any pics please,  as I feed my hose from the top. Would like to adapt my upright tank so I can draw water from the bottom half, so not defying gravity.  Thanks

I did my training as it were working for one of the UK's largest manufacturers working on their new designs, getting hold of the new products / valves and pumps before any of the distributors even knew the kit existed.

Why? :)

It was the ideal background to the work we do here, I know the Italian suppliers / their products which are yet to be release and it allows me to go out to the likes of Hatz and say we'll buil with your engines if...

Hopefully when the new machines are released in July we'll be able to let the distributors have the new ranges. Something we are not yet doing. There's still a lot to do on the marketing side but there will be strip down videos for all the machines on YouTube etc for maintenance and repair purposes.

Have you just paid 1800, for what's in the link.

If so Ben posted the machine should be costing you around the 1300 mark give or take, so you have paid 500 give or take for the hose reel to be mounted on your trolley.

The same one without the 30m hose and reel is £1450 so shouldn't be far off.

I've just ordered this one - http://www.jetmac.co.uk/shop/new-loncin-14-horse-power-21-litre-cool-drive-petrol-pressure-washer/
Hopefully I've made the right decision regarding flow rather than pressure (not engine)
What's happened to jetmacs Ebay shop, there's nothing on it?

Good idea to buy a machine where you can take it back if there are any problems .

Good idea although not always possible and your not guaranteed any problems will be resolved. Look at window cleaning equipment there's some very expensive kit out there and its all coming from down south. It makes no difference to me whether I buy it from Paddy or south of the border.
