Fire pump first test.
This is the first engine start of my new fire pump and cart. the cart is from Water Pumps Direct: BE HPFC-2065HR - 126 GPM (2") Fire Fighting Cart w/ Honda GX Engine. I added 150 feet of 1 1/2" Forestry hose and nozzle so it would reach all the way around my house. UPDATE: I noticed after posting this video that the engine throttle was only up about 2/3 of the way, I tried it again at full power and got even more water. In fact, the hose pushes back with about 20 pounds of thrust.
