More details
I added a few more photos to the Picassa web album listed above.
Here are some materials specs:
Trolley height 51 1/2 in. Pneumatic tyres
Ply backing board 13 ¾ in W x 12 in H (Vans crate of course)
Pump Alemite 501A, Filter Alemite FA2. Includes hose
Suction hose 29 in, Delivery hose 59 in
Suction pipe: 24in x 3 ½ in x ¾ in OD, Nozzle: 3 ½ in x 8 in x ¾ in OD
Al bracket: 1 ½ x 1 ¼ x 1/8 x 4 inches angle extrusion
Suction hose fitting: 1 ½ in stub off top of pipe supplied, welded to 1 ½ in of ¾ in OD tube
Delivery hose fitting: gal steel bush welded to 1 ½ in of ¾ in OD tube
Dist between pump outlet and filter inlet: 2 ¾ in
Cradle material: 1 ½ x ¼ MS flat bar, 13 ft required, 1 x 1 x 1/8 x 3 inches MS angle
Cradle inside dims: 9 ¼ H x 21 W x 14 D. Bent in a 4 in vyce using a close fitting steel tube
In Australia the price of the pump and filter varies widely. Caltex Energy was cheapest. The elbow is a hydraulic fitting, and was expensive. In a bigger city I’m sure you could get cheaper alternatives.
For the ¾ in OD tube, try to get a handle from an old motor mower. I used a scrap truck fitting, but the walls are pretty thick
Shorter generic trolleys are available, but not recommended. You need the pump to be well above the jerry cans because of the stiffness of the hose.
Please send a PM if you need more info.
