I've used winter windshield washer fluid for years and never a problem.Got it rigged up in a tank and valved into suction to pump.At day end suck it through the system and cycle the unloader to make sure bypass is done too and the next day discharge out the hose reel back into tank.Good to -40...

Thanks Mark. Not that bad depending on the duty thing. Canada and their taxes and duty have a real way to make it expensive to do business.I have several old chevies I am restoring and whenever I order parts between the dollar exchange, shipping and duty I usually get hosed in the long run...

Do you ship to Canada too? Cost of Shipping to Grande Prairie Alberta?

Well that will teach me to overlook the obvious. History is boiler was in a truck (2006 Kenworth Steamer) for a company I am working for recently and not my own.They had replaced the coil a couple of days before I started doing their boiler repairs.They went to acidize the old one and flowed it...

In dealing with a Hotsy 9450 boiler with a becket burner I have run into an issue.When the burner cylcles to off (discharge water to temp),I am getting blue white smoke from the chimney.( Afterburn old risidual fuel I'm assuming) Electodes new,transformer strong,air settings ok etc.When the...

So I am starting to understand better why some a couple of my messages were ix nayed from the board. They were not anywhere near spam or me trying to sell anybody anything, but they were contrary to the boards views. I do enjoy and find the information and resources here useful. In all...

Thanks for clarifying the reasons behind this.I hope you all are not as paranoid about the general public when your out in public! It is a sad thing that spammers send their junk so excessively and ruin good things.

I once again carefully and respectfully request why I cannot view public profiles for the people on the PWN? All I get is: Do I need a magic password like ALLAH Peanut Butter Sandwiches, or what?!? Other forums allow viwing so that other members can view the peoples info so we may better...

I don't mean to change the subject from the safety aspects of acid use but what is the history of these functions of the forum being turned off?When Public Profiles are blocked out what exactly do we list info for others to see for?Respectfully I ask why is this turned off or blocked or what...

Mark if I try to follow your link it says I do not have permission to view such.What is the problem?Also if I try to view someones info on the board it also will not allow me.It's nice to know where people are from and stuff.It currently shows me as being logged on so I'm not sure what the issue...

Reading throughout the web I stumbled accross some info on HF acid that I found a little alarming.I have used hydrocloric acid up to 93% pure (enough to draw blood )but the effects of absorbsion of HF acid appears to be very much more dangerous.The web address for one of the items I read is...

You bet. I emailed back a long boring one and I don't know if it went to you or got blocked. I'll try another tonight and we'll see if it works.

How you making out?

Careful of caustic chemicals on the polished aluminum as permanant damage can result.Foamers are sometimes useful for stubborn staining and allows you to wash 2 units while the foam has reaction time.Car wash wax can easily be injected and leaves a nice job and is charged out with mark up too...

Plastic or rubber is the way to go if the budget is tight, as not a real need for the expensive "tools" , it does the same job.

I've got several years experience at running winter Oilfield "Steamer" truck.Essentially a mobile pressure wash unit that is tuned for producing steam. Here in northern Alberta it is an essential service for all aspects of production and drilling of gas and oil. Rates vary from year to year...

More than happy to share some experience and hope it helps. Usually with smaller jetters of 8 GPM or less the pressure won't damage the residential lines up to 3000 psi unless the line is in bad shape such as rusted away to the point of collapse in cast lines or in some applications a Tar Paper...

Usually if you insert the jetter hose nozzle approx 3 to 5 feet into the line before you pressure up you will see wery little back spray to the clean out opening.Keep some rags handy and wear rubber gloves. I would suggest to run your hose that came with the washer from outside where the...

jetting woes Use a high pressure ball valve before your 1/4 " jetter hose and trun off when needed the unloader valve on your pressure washer will cycle the same as letting go of the trigger on your wash gun when washing as normally used. The "Crawler Nozzle" or jetting tip you use can vary...

Built all custom units.Buy the components seperately and rig em up how you want. Ive combined everything from 1 million btu boilers and 14gpm pumps for hydro vac trucks, down to 4 gpm and 4 hundred thousand btu boilers for trailer wash units. Options for driving them are endless.Gas...
