Just taken delivery of a new Airflex Turbo and it's a bugger to get in and out of my van (old style mazda with a raised floor).

So I'm looking at running it from the van. Has anyone got photos of their set-ups to give me some ideas.

Sorry Steve I run a TM, wish it were potable as the prowler 

[Andrew Briscoe]

I ran my scorpion from these bane tanks, they look a bit different now
best thing is no stopping to fill and empty, and the waste tank on your machine never draws in more than a pint or two , keeping your motors free from fluff and waste,

[robert stubbs]

Not mine,but good idea.

[Joe H]

Auto fill and auto dump.
Not seen them in action but  is an obvious solution.
Try Nick at Solutions Cornwall or ask on that forum.

Ken Wainwright has a system like Roberts has posted but the 2 tanks are in a frame. Photos are somewhere flying around, if not on here they are on ct

[robert stubbs]

Airflex mount.

[Joe H]

Is that with auto feed auto dump Robert - cant see any detail.

[robert stubbs]

Couldn't tell you Joe, just a picture I came across.

Had a pump fitted so can transfer water from the water tank,and thats operated from the small light switch you can see..

Think ken has also got some as he gave me help and advice setting mine up..

good luck

Thanks Clinton, I don't need a pump. With the Airflex you just drop the direct feed pipe into any alternative water tank.

[clinton]

Your welcome steve,yes thought your new machine had that drop in feed pipe with that model..

[richy27]

Steve do you need that ramp back i bought from you as i dont use it if you do you can.

Nice job Clinton.

I mainly run my airflex from the van, using 2" hose with a whip. It's not 'van mounted' just because I have not got around to fitting a tank as I don't really like cold rinsing. Just a preference. The idea was to get the inline heater from cleansmart and put in a 250L tank, just have not got round to it yet. I'm using 25L containers which I fill with Hot water before I leave. If I need to drop anything in the tank like clearwater rinse or DFC 105 it's easily done.

For any other situation I made a 5ft ramp using a 'ladder' frame which latches onto a piece of angle steel set behind the door latches. Easy to get out when required.

Hi Richard

Does the Airflex fit on that ramp as it's quite a bit bigger than the ninja.
I don't want us both to go to all the trouble of getting it back to me if it's not fit for purpose.

Hi Clinton

looks a very smart setup mate, did you do the fit yourself ?

The inside of my van consists of...................oh nothing I just throw everything in.  You have inspired me to make some changes to tidy the inside of my van. ( hope me dads not busy )
