Water Pump Adaptations
« on: July 23, 2016, 08:41:23 »
Hello,  I have made some modifications to the water pump system and replaced the pump with a squeezy-bottle...

You can see in the picture.... the aim is to create enough pressure in the tanker so the water squirts for a long time!

I would be interested in any cusomisations you have made to the water system......

Hello. PlasticMan and welcome to Playmofriends!
That looks like a useful adaptation which would no doubt work with some of the fire vehicles too. Those hoses and sprayers are great, I wish i had had some as a child...
Why not introduce yourself in the 'Welcome' section?

yes, my main problem has been that the tanker truck loses pressure over time through the washer seal with the screw-top.

Playmobil already  make a pump that can be pressurised and connected to the tanker.
