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

[drive surgeon]

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

[Mike Halliday]

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

[drive surgeon]

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
