I want to convert my air pump to electric because I do not know how to fix the air one.
Anyone have a source?
Napa does not sell a 24v pump
Thanks

If you cannot find a 124 volt pump, for no more than it will be used, you could center tap off your 24 volt batteries. Or, better yet, run it off your 12 volt house batteries, if so equipped.  Jack

Chris,

I just changed our air to electric. I had no idea how tough that would be! I used 12V pumps (I had 12V available). I am not sure what your setup is, but we have a five gallon fluid tank. I first tried two regular car pumps (one for each side). That was less then pathetic! We did wet arms, and sprayers.

BW had a great idea for us. He suggested using a fuel pump. I had a submersible fuel pump (fuel injected pump, so I have at least 30psi :D), so I hooked that one up to the system. That pump SOAKS the front half of the bus. We have NO problems with getting enough fluid onto the windshield. It is a great setup, thanks to BusWarrior.

God bless,

John

Chris, go to this link Autex makes pumps, windshield wipers and motors.  http://www.autexacs.com (http://www.autexacs.com)

hahahaha, that part had me rolling.  Great idea though, I would have never thought of it!
