hi nat, let me get this straight, does this not need electric to run?  it runs off a battery on your petrol pressure washer?

i thought hot boxes needed to run off electric? or a generator?  is this run from a car battery? ???

a hot box doesn't require a lot of power to work, so an inverter will convert 12v car battery to 240v

so this could be good to give me hot water to remove chewy and graffiti?  save money instead of buying a skid mount hot washer costing thousands? ???

Hi DS

The hot box I believe its diesel the inverter is used to ignite the diesel.
Hope this helps

it ignites the fuel and powers a small fan to inject air into the chamber.

Ive used this system in the past with my hotbox, but it didn't always work I found the battery had to be 100% charged. now I run a extension lead into the house or office
