CLASSICPW 14 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 I'm sure this question has arised elsewhere, but what kind of hot water washer do you guys prefer? I'm considering getting one, or a hotbox for my cold washer, but I'm confused on the burner options. 12volt? Deisel? What's the best? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Henry B. 4 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 I've got a deisel burner on mine. I heard about numerous problems with the 12 volt systems when I bought mine but they may have worked out the problems since then. The good thing about mine is that I can find parts fairly easy if I need to locally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 CLASSICPW 14 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 It's not seeping in my thick skull. 12 volt is deisel? Does 12 volt mean electric start? Or maybe electric ignition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 squirtgun 122 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 12v systems run on a battery only to start the machine and run the burner.110v use a generator to run the burner adn a battery for starting the machine.I think I have it right and have put it in the simple terms.I'm kinda slow so simple works for me....LOL.

0 BigPete 14 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 The 110 volt and 12 volt systems both burn diesel or kerosene. The electricity powers the fuel pump, ignition system, and blower. There are also LP burners thet use little or no electricity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Henry B. 4 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 My fault, I was referring to using a 12 volt burner or a higher voltage generator powered burner. Mine is run by a generator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
