I have a diesel truckmount replacement for the base unit which I'm thinking of selling. it uses the bane fresh & waste tank and just fits into the space where the base unit goes.
its a very simple design using a 10hp single cylinder diesel engine, 1000 psi pump and the blower from a bane aqumount turning at 3600rpm so its got the power of a blazer or spitfire. the pump will accept the hot water from the freshtank
its fitted onto a stainless steel frame with roll cage.
anybody think its worth £1800?

sorry trying to put on picture but it won't work :-\

What are you using for a heat exchanger Mike?
-
it hasn't got one, that why i fitted the hypro pump it will work with hot water.
this machine is perfect for a bane user who has his fresh tank plumbed into his engine.
its been sat on my patio for a year so i fitted into my van at the weekend and used it yesterday & today, it works perfect.

i tried but it won 't load :-[ :-[
you've seen it anyhow it was the one that was stuck behind the rosebush when you came across.
-
So one in the bush is worth two in the hand then Mike ;D
The only down site with that type of system is when the hot water runs out your on your way home and finished for the day.
I recon with a heat exchanger fitted it will fly out with no problem Mike.
-
I saw that engine on another machine you had and thought it looked quite nifty,
Surely you have a heat exchanger kicking around some were Mike you could fit, ???

Found a picture of it for you Mike :)
