I would like to add that LP units are used very little for mobile systems up here in Canada. Besides the dangers that Mark mentioned and the size of tanks required, LP gas just doesn't vaporize well when it's -35°C in the winter which effectively renders a 400KBTU unit useless since it may only...
While I agree with all the standard troubleshooting guidelines, air leaks in the suction side of a PD pump are normally not a large contributor to a "no pressure" problem as are other factors when a garden hose is directly connected to the inlet due to the fact that water is being forced into...
CTTAM (Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba) to allow me to use my CET (Certified Engineering Technologist) designation and hold a valid "M" class electrical licence. I'm also on the "Panel of Examiners" for the certification board.

Jake is correct.
The coil is usually the first to go and that will set you back anywhere from $700 to $1200.
Next will be the fittings, lines and fluid end of your pump.
A brutal reality you don't want to experience. Keep the inside of your truck/trailer above freezing or put...
Around here we have to wash many things in the winter and that starts around late October and ends in April. Freezing your equipment will ruin it so we run RV antifreeze through our equipment if it will be subject to freezing temperatures while it sits idle or during shipping. RV anti-freeze is...
Ensure you have a screen or filter on the incoming water supply to prevent debris from entering the pump.
Was the material in the valve in a discharge valve, and did it look like a piece of plastic/rubber? If so it could be a piece of the packings/seals.
It's probably worth changing all...
BTW, around here any service or repairs done to equipment requires a minimum "M" licence for electrical and a gas fitters licence for natural gas/LP heaters. Lots of government control which keeps my wallet full of licences and empty of money.;)
I especially have to abide by the rules since...
Just some advice for any future problems with your burner. Remember a oil burner needs three things to fire: air, ignition and fuel. If it's short one of these it will be a no go.
The place to check for fuel between either a external mounted solenoid or internal mounted solenoid is at the...
That's a great idea!
A friend of mine mentioned this exact idea a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be great to have a show with guys working hard cleaning the worst possible stuff in the worst possible locations. I thought since we're in Canada it will probably only include guys...
Hi. I figured I would join a forum related to my occupation since I'm on several dealing with my hobbies.
I've been in the pressure washer business for over 28 years designing controls and systems for Magikist. We're not a big player in the business but we do have a complete line including...
