Does your machine really need a fuel pump?

I'm not a professional mechanic but after about 20 minutes of me trying to get it primed the fuel pump quit coming on when I hit the ignition key. It appears to be dead now. However, I did not confirm if it was still getting 12v.

I would make a joke about this, but I'm pretty sure now is not the time. Sorry for your frustration!


That's a good one Kenny! :clap:

In fact, i did mean purchasing a used vortex as a joke.

Been there, done that and got the tshirt good buddy. It was a nightmare as well.

No more used vortex's for me please. :biggrin:

Thank you for your empathy regarding my frustration. I have strong faith that when one door closes another will open.

You can snag a reasonably price tm on the used market….van and all.

Yup!

I might even pull the trigger on a good used machine (very low hours) with van tomorrow.

The price is right and it's turn key ready to go make money. But, what I really want is a new SteamAction Nike. It's new, twice the $$$ and does not come with a van. And, I'll essentially be on vacation for a week or ten day's while waiting on shipping, install, etc...

I don't know which way to go on this. Do I wait for what I want and pay much more? Or, get what I need today?

What would Jesus do?

Can those CDS machine be installed into a long wheel-base hightop van?
Depends on the van most all the pto's (hydramaster, cleanco,butler )only fit chevy express or gmc savana vans with 6 or v8 engines im not aware of any that fit sprinter or ford transit. vortex and butler make some that fits i think Isuzu and Isuzu type box trucks. Im not very familiar with their products vortex also makes a smaller unit but i think it only fits express or savana.
