How can I stop water from flowing back into my Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet when the heavy duty hose attached gets blocked?
I have a 1000l take of water attached to a Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet, alongside a heavy duty hose I use to water window boxes around London. When I park up the van and have to cross the road to water certain jobs, the pipe is occasionally temporarily blocked when a car runs over the hose pipe. This sends water back to the pump, and eventually breaks it. What can I do to stop the water/ pressure breaking the pump?
A check valve, either a disc or ball type would prevent that. However, that would localize the pressure to the hose and may rupture the hoses. And how does the pump break? Rupture a seal? Heat up from dead heading the pump? Stopping the flow back might not be the entire answer. A centrifugal pump like this should be constructed to handle the maximum pressure the pump can produce, unless you let it run with no flow for a long time and it heats up. If that is the case, stopping the back flow is not the problem.
- Sometimes the car does not stop when I brake but it feels like it's hard to stop, is this a rotor issue I'm afraid I will rear end someone? It happens every once a while I'll press the brakes and it won't stop like a jumpy feeling is this rotorsrelated? 2001 Honda Passport
- Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft? I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.
- How much (and how quickly) will running appliances on my Honda Ridgeline's power outlet drain my battery? I'm looking into using two speakers that use around a total of 800-900W for about 2-3 hours. They will be plugged into a 120W adapter from my 12V power outlet in my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. If the vehicle is off and running this then how long will the battery last? Would it work if the engine was on? I'd love to see a formula as to how to equate this, but I have no clue what it would be.
- 1996 Honda Civic coolant not flowing? My Honda has had random random radiator hoses literally busting lately. We thought it was just old hose problems till another popped and we heard it. The gauge in the car isn't reading hot but does after running for a while. The coolant is not circulating at all. The radiator iself is steaming. There's no signs of a blown head gasket at all. The radiator nor the hoses are leaking. What is the problem?
