I think Blackwood had no regulation valve on the foam system somewhere,so i was told from the existing captain when the Darley man can down from the USA.The truth is no proto type is perfect,the key is not to filtered on when you havent fully tested it in anger.

Blackwood 24CAFS is only a 500GPM pump, and doesn't have sufficient inlets and outlets to be a pumper. Not sure why they went for such a small pump, perhaps the truck itself is not able to run anything bigger ?

Jaff, I think you might be onto something there  :wink:
