Pump box
« on: September 19, 2009, 07:37:25 pm »
Any one know where i can get a good waterproof box to house my pump and powersupply / jumpstart for my trolley set up.
I am thinking of a box similar to this setup.

Anyone know where i can get one of these

no need to add the battery in the box, just the pump and strainer, then run a lead to the battery

A had a waterproof box with my pump and a hose in the box to the pump split and filled the box up with water - took a long time to dry the pump out. Drilled a hole in the bottom of the box incase it happened again.

Thanks matt, love your site. But looking at your trolley you have the pump high by the handle! does this create air locks? i would put the pump low to eliminate air locks and also try to keep battery low to stop trolley from tipping over.
i would love to know where the royal mail get there trolleys from as they look like they could be a good wfp trolley.

i keep it high to avoid it getting knocked about

i now create a loop into the barrel and that seems to stop airlocks

as a box is only 7 or 8 quid to put the pump and strainer in, i would do it that way, it;ll stop any damage to it ;)

The box in the ebay trolley is a standerd butchers tray look at butcher supply on internet and match it to your jerry can size.
