Title: The Terminator! is it a titan killer!
Post by: PaulKing on August 03, 2010, 08:02:48 pm
I just bought a American van and TM which has been totally well cared for by its first owner, and reading through the specs it struck me, "is this the most powerful TM in the country"?
Here goes, it has a....

2.5 70 bhp V4 engine running a,
Storbuilt 5LP Blower 900 cfm
Thermo maxx 150C heat generator
3000 psi pump
160 gal recovery tank

All in a 5.4 V8 Ford van, thats a absolut pleasure to drive and does about 25mpg on the run up north.

Yes Alltec sent out a email for it, and like a lady you should never ask her age, but apparently I was the only one to make a offer!

So the answer is, more than a Car but less than a House

But it was my Birthday and the flight down went over london from east to west at 3000 feet, the views were fab on sunday.

140 gal waste tank and 200 ft reel which I'm thinking of changing to a 300ft one i have,  & 65 gal fresh water, no hour clock but the paint on the exhaust manifold is still shiny so not many and as the van has only 5000 miles and talking to them I'm guessing somewhere in the region of 100 hours, I have a appointment in Selby so I'll let you know and we can meet up.

Fantastic looking setup Paul. Getting used to driving on the right hand side of the road will take a bit of practice I guess.  8)
