The Travel Power systems were rarely used in the few vans we maintained.
Bigger issue is it probably spent vast amounts of time sat idling to keep the cab warm.
It is an expensive 150bar washer, able to handle up to 65 oC input , has a brass element pump too IIRC
Doesn't matter what it is.
Using water that hot will severely shorten the service intervals of the pump.
I used to work for Karcher. Customers tried what you were doing. All of them switched to proper steam washers that heat the water after the pump when the pump service costs started getting silly.

I second this. I used to work for a company that made bubble wrap and there were process pumps that ran water at 125c and pressure to suit. They used to look like they had had acid going through them, life was in months.

I worked for a firm that rented out small vehicle mounted cherry pickers. Most of the vehicles had less than 180,000 miles showing on the speedo when sold, but they had been driven 1 hour maybe 1.5 hours to a job and then sat at high idle for 6 to 7 hours.
I reckon some would have clocked up over 400,000+ miles if they'd been driven instead of just sitting with the engines running, but we had some Transits that needed replacement engines before 45,000, miles one engine seized solid with 38,000 miles on the clock.

Looks good to me, hopefully is good as the 3/4" impact.
Those are something I'd like to get, may I get a link?
I need them I seriously need them, I'm tired of the plastic box the socket set came with, I'm always struggling opening the box and find them all over the place

About 4 or 5 cubic foot of 5/8" quarter sawn oak boards.
I picked them up from the Quarter Sawn Oak company in Edale, Derbyshire yesterday.
They showed me around the barn where they process the timber from some quite large oak trunks, probably 7 feet across, into smaller chunks, then onto a bandsaw for quartering.
Previously I bought the timber from them planed to size, but now I have a decent planer thicknesser, I can buy waney edge boards and machine them to whatever size I need. You only get charged for clear timber, any bits with big knots, shakes or worm are excluded.
Some nice figuring in the first board I've looked at in detail, that's before the PT does its magic.

A friend of a friend makes the timber for oak framed barns and houses.
He mills the timber himself. I had a visit once but he was away erecting a barn so I didn't get a look at the mill in operation.
Heat exchanger plate for your solar heated warm water tank washing project ?
