    Water pump

    The main problem that folk come up against if they use 12mm pushfit pipe work is joining domestic 15mm tap tails to the 12mm pipe, but this is actually easy by buying 12mm push fit to 15mm adapters that can be found easily on ebay. Trying to find them at a local plumbers shop is a no no, as in...

    Water pump

    It's a Shurflo trail king, yes it turns on and off by opening and closing the taps or shower tap. Opening a tap releases the pressure in the system which in turn switches on the pump, by closing the tap the pump continues to pump till the pressure is built back up in the system which triggers a...

    Water pump

    Sorry sprinter but I really don't understand the need for two pumps as 1 pump can supply both hot and cold water with no need for any non return valves. I've used this system for 25 years without a problem. Intact my wife is doing the washing up now and if I required a shower I could have one...

    Water pump

    I've never bothered with an expansion tank Squirrell, I bought one once and it made no difference to the flow I've never had a fluctuating flow it's always been constant. In fact I took it back out to give me more space under the sink and gave it to someone on this forum, can't remember now who...

    Water pump

    In my view there is only one type of pressurised pump and that is the trail king shurflo, I've tried the equivalent in Fiamma and although it worked well it was noisy and is now languishing at the back of the shed. I've always in the past used Shurflo but found the Fiamma one cheap at a...

    LPG tank shortage.

    Agreed, if its there it's a lot more purchasable, however I have found the Poles to be very trustworthy and quick to deliver what ever the article. Motor vehicle spares being just one of them, I.e. Mercedes genuine parts are half the price in Poland than they are in UK so bare this in mind next...

    LPG tank shortage.

    Nearly all under slung tanks are made in Poland. If you really wanted a 55ltr going onto the Polish websites would probably have got you delivered one in a week and probably cheaper than buying in UK. Phil.

    I would think your on a loser with the position memory as I believe that is controlled by the Voyager ECU, and will not migrate to any ECU. 😏 Phil.

    Would you barrier.....

    If you really want to stop reaction then the way to do that is either paint the steel and or paint the steel and aluminium solar panel case, you would be surprised just how quickly the aluminuim will corrode if there is not some sort of barrier between them, especially when there is an...

    Strange Water Pooling Mercedes 311 Cdi

    It's not so much the side seals it's the bottom seal where you stick your elbow on a hot summers day driving and they are comparatively easy to replace. So to are the side seals that the window slides in, when you have the knack. Phil

    Strange Water Pooling Mercedes 311 Cdi

    One possible cause is water getting past the wind up/down window external seal then running down the inside of the door and exiting through the panel trim clip holes. Phil

    Water heating connect

    The pump should only pick up and deliver cold water to the cold taps and hot water tank. The hot water tank is under pressure from the pump, when the hot tap is opened hot water will flow from the top of the tank to the open hot tap, whilst the pump will replace the hot water with cold at which...

    Water heating connect

    Little bit confused here, unless I've missed the point. I use pumps with built in non return such as Shurflo trail king, unless you use a submersible rotary I don't see the point of using non return valves. I also use household mixer taps and have never had a problem with cold water feeding...

    LPG vs Diesel heaters for winter travel Pros & cons

    Propane is still volatile to very low temperatures and is the gas of choice during winter and even artic conditions, butane has great difficulties in leaving its storage bottle even at 3-4 degrees centigrade and is far less volatile than propane at any temperature. Hence why propane is used in...
