TankNutUK Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Even though the trailer chassis and wheels are different, the straining, pumping and filtration equipment on the Wartime and post-War photographs look very similar to me.

TankNutUK Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The same strainer appears to have been in service for many years. On the 80 Gallon 10cwt trailer and at least one First World War type. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerryjeeprichard Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Hi Ian, In light of the information detailed over the last posts, I thought the attached pictures might be of interest. This filter is something I picked for the restoration of my 100 gallon bowser project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankNutUK Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Many thanks. Great photos of the internal components of the strainer. It is now clear how it all fits together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film also shows how all the pumps and filters are used. I am trying to work out exactly what goes in the "Horrocks Box" Cheers Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian L Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just managed find a large quantity (30 Metres) plus off cuts of this N.O.S hydraulic hose that looks just the part with the writing sanded off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian L Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Been down the local wood recycling yard today & picked up this damaged 7"x7" gate post for £6.25 which I'm going to use to make the wooden floats which are approximately 7" X 6 1/6" x 5 3/4" once cut I will clamp the 2 bits together & drill a hole through the join which will give me the channel for the hose.

Ian L Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Has anybody got a better photo showing the 2 brackets that hold the hose to the float ? or can someone blow this up a bit ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankNutUK Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 As you say Ian, there appear to be two securing straps/brackets holding the rubber hose to the wooden floatation block. The block is clearly shaped to take the hose and the connection on top of the pierced filter canister.. The thick leather strap is for securing the block to the trailer when not in use. I can't find any clearer pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do with several photos showing the buckle & end in detail please along with the measurements. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
