The OP has £4k not £40k - Thats £200/month for 25 years  :D The older Nixon was good gear but they went bust and were taken over. My old Nixon was Kohler / speck and had an American 12v reel and I stopped using it because it would easily use 2-3 jerry cans a day, Thats why I have an LPG kit

i personally use a thermic 17 lavorwash it is 21 litres a minute at 3000psi, i split this to 2 guns with 03 size nozzles for gum removal so two mewn can work, i like robs idea of using larger pumps with massive water flow but have never gone this route due to keeping the machine fed with water but it is obviously working for him on the type of sites he cleans, as rob says there are so many variables and it is finding one that works best for the kind of work you are carrying out, i know personally i would love more flow for large tarmac areas as 21ltr a minute sometimes is not quite enough

I also need it to be fairly portable as i do all types of cleaning
and have equipment for every kind of work.
So would have to take in & out of the van regularly (VIVARO)

More than enough if he just wants heat for gum.

We don't flat surface clean on heat. We do it at 30lpm then drop revs and use about 12lpm for gum.

I like the feedback on them wayne burners, they sound the dogs bo***cks!

I have the new OHC kohler on my jetter - the old engine caught fire ! I bought a nearly new engine on a research generator thing which was on LPG which I fitted the pump to which is on a frame for a van pack - this is to be my back up when I strip the trailer jetter. When I fit my doors to my lean to in the yard I can hopefully finish a few projects.
My gasser is good on fuel - i used less than 20 ltrs in 6 hours at the dawn to dusk this year

Mine is a Wayne boiler on the H & M. I did get that text the other night but I was going to bed. Don't go down the hydrant route unless you need to as it can get very expensive!!

Nothing

You know my machines run and run.

That machine has never missed a beat mechanically.

I had a problem with the starter motor loosening off the chassis, that was bolted & then rewelded but other than that never had anything go wrong.

Why do you ask?

Just concerned about maintenance and if I'd struggle to repair over here as not sure if parts can be bought here or if anyone is to hand to look at it. Lavor burners are the norm here.

I don't know this for sure but on our works on PFS - fuel stations I have noticed that Dresser (Wayne ) do all the pumps on the fuel points. I am guessing they are the same company!!
