only one strap to hold it on.

Air line bracket on & a tube to run all the pipes etc , To keep them all safe.

So we can fold it down for if we are taking a hose humper with us.

To keep the ramps in the right place with out any straps .

Next weeks job is to get the engine & pump mounted on it at the back of the trailer

You make it look very simple though, You should have made another at the same time.

some more photo's of it all & the dry run seal set up on them.

Inside of the inlet with a vane wiper fitted, you can see it is a lot bigger than a Doda or a Bauer.

The Cabernet is to make next to keep the engine in so it is nice & dry in its new clean home.

You can buy some with gearboxes on them or some a belt drive, but it is not some thing Cornell do as the gearboxes do not last long as they run to hot

It's looking good there are you the fabricator or just the designer? I hope the electric primers are better than the 1's we tried out

Both the Welder driver & the man with all the ideas in his head, Electric primers are what the use most of the time in the States if it is no good then we will put a slurry tanker pump on it to prime it

Looks beefier than the 1's we were using just found on hard primes they would get hot and if not watched would burn out really easy but on perfect poo poo and short primes it would prime in a flash. We've just gone totally simple with a vacci pump running off engine now

This is an other way we could do it if we need to.

We have never had to take one apart under pressure & if we ever need to we have a pair of flow stop clamps we can put on the pipe each side of the coupling & then we can undo it, why do you want to take them apart under pressure ?, We can wrap 800 meters of pipe up in one go , so have never seen a problem with them.

Are your flow stops bought or have you made them yourselves, any chance of a picture

Your pumps units and all look tidy, FairPlay. Is it alot better/cheaper to build your own and ou find a big benefit to have and engine driven pump rather than tractor driven...?? There's hardly any engine driven pumps around here...

Our Cornell pump wants 275+hp on it so , driving it with a tractor is a none starter, Will be a lot better on fuel than one on a tractor & will cost less than buying a doda or a Bauer off a company in the UK fitted to a new engine fitted on to it.
