Bought some great gear from 4x4equip

Hiya Will

That yella pole is well made and quite weighty (better than a long mag torch) if ya know what i mean,I'll lend it to ya and you can persuade Hairy to giv up his Crayons ! lol

If ya go to the site it has the cost of Shovel Combo $89 and would you believe the rake was only $20 (very well made for price) all compact and tucked away for the missus to use (you didnt think i bought it for myself did ya)


Cheers

Yep they look ok, being yellow you wont lose them in the grass ect,
I carry a Long Handle Posthole Shovel and a Stiff Broom multi purpose
like Willem I got them from the Hardware Store, but good on you.

PS. The Carry Bag is a good idea.

Hiya Daza

If you look closely at one of the pics you'll see pink flagging tape around it,Thats so i dont unscrew the pole and leave the peg still in the ground ! lol


Cheers

How do you attach the pole to the peg?


Hiya Adrian

The peg has a dummy steel piece that you put over the thread so you dont stuff it with hammer,hit into the ground,then you remove it and screw the pole on !

Thanks for the pic but does that mean it needs a special pole?

Adrian

I have also heard that BCF are going to supply the Tanami pump also.

They are about to release a similar pump for the plastic jerries as well.......................Royalities to Geoff ;)

Cheers Kev

The Tanami pump looks a great idea for those of us with a bad back.

There are some safety considerations (common sense really but sometimes common sense escapes us)

From the manual..
"Fuel travelling a hose causes static electricity. Always make sure that your jerry can is earthed to your
vehicle. “Use a battery jumper lead to do so”.

The TANAMI PRO should ALWAYS be operated in a well-ventilated are. DO NOT use inside a vehicle
or enclosed space. Be wary of hot exhausts, sparks or electrical components (your compressor) in the
area when operating the TANAMI PRO.

Restricting / stopping the fuel flow from the fuel hose outlet can be dangerous. The hose could blow
off the outlet pipe; fuel could then pour out of this pipe onto the surrounding area. The jerry can could
explode from internal pressure.

A pressure relief valve (Tanami PRV) is fitted; and a small amount of air escapes from this valve
constantly as it regulates the air pressure, if there is a blockage in the fuel hose the valve will open
fully. Air / fuel fumes from this valve if ignited can cause an explosion, and are harmful if breathed in.

under certain circumstances fuel under pressure can escape from this valve, so always have the jerry
can upright when in operation.
Never leave an operating TANAMI PRO unattended.
If the fuel tank or reservoir if full and fuel is then added via the fuel hose, the fuel could then overflow
outside the tank or vehicle, causing a dangerous situation"

Yep, I have a Home Made Tanami Pump. Works well with diesel. No safety valve required. Only pump with my air compressor. It really saves lifting those jerries.

I think you will find that the one for the 44 gallon drums is called the Canning

He's a member of the Landcruiser Club also I think?

We won't hold that against him John;-)

Hi Baz
Good to hear from you, hope your all well up your way.

Was just a reference that Ian seems involved in the club scene across Melb which is good to see.
