Too Cool

Yes, very cool. You can water the neighbors garden with that.

That looks like fun! The truck looked like it was under a good load, what RPM does it run at to power the pump(s)? What was the deal with the color of the water when you first started? Rust in the truck or rust from the water source?

Just for the test it was running at 'tick over'. Then ben upped the R.P.M. to 1500, which is the true pumping speed. The "colour" was a 'clean out' long time no use colour!. It runs clean now. And over the holiday period this weekend we are going to run run it thoroughly with a full load of water. 18th of June we have an invite to a large county show to display the truck, and compete with a green goddess. That should be really interesting.
