Well that pump just went out. The problem was the fact that the gun was clogged, and it ran just long enough to mess up the pump.
Thanks for your help,

Cat Pump blowing oil from relief cap on top
I've had my weep on these last days when it was freezing and all my bays are okay except for the 2nd one away from my building. I turned it on today and nothing came out of the hoses. I could feel the pressure building in the hose.
When I went inside...
Cat pump
Well, I've cross tested all parts on a different pump that works The only part that didn't work was the solenoid.
I don't check to see if the assembly was correct so I guess I'll do that now.
I couldn't feel any magnetic pull and since I didn't want to reassemble everything to do...
Your right I switched the solenoid unit to a different pump and had the same problem. I took it apart and there is just what looks like a small blue donut with two wires coming out of it. So I'm guessing that it can't be fixed it has to be replaced.
Thank you for your help,

Update I switched the hoses from bay 6 (the one I am having problems with) to bay 4 coming from the hot water solenoid in the back. Bay 6 started to work and bay 4 stopped working.
So now I'm looking at the ball valve not working or the solenoid not working. any input?
Thanks,

The pump was working bad before I rebuilt it. It was putting out very little pressure.
I also rebuilt the two valves in the back.
Yesterday I put that same soap hose on a different bay and the pressure was fine. All other products come out fine.

I have 6 bays and I am only having trouble with that one bay.
The fitting attached to the hose line that draws the soap is missing one screw. I found it today and I was wondering if it was allowing it to draw air.
Thank you for your help,

I just rebuilt one of my cat pumps and it works great on rinse but when the soap us turned on it loses pressure. You can feel the pressure building but when you pull the trigger on the gun the pressure is gone.
I think it is a problem in the inlet side but I'm not really sure can anyone steer...
70 feet too short.
Okay, I manage a carwash in Allen Texas and my tunnel is only 50 feet. I already know that that is too short but that is what I am stuck with, so knowing that what is the best combinations of chemicals to do the best job in that distance?

I want to thank everyone that answered me. The simple fix was to put a loop in the hose. The idea came from a guy that was working construction next door. A pretty easy and inexpensive fix.
Thanks again,

I'm really learning how all of these thing go together. Right now the only solenoid valve is located before the mixing tank and the pump, there is nothing but hose between the pump and the arch.
I'm not sure if I can lower the tank, I'll have to take a look at it.
Mac the solenoids that you...
I'm losing chemical in the tunnel. The check valve is located between the Flo-jet and the arche that the chemical comes out of.
The small tank that the water and chemical get mixed in is higher than the lowest hole in the arch. It was explained to me that the check valve was suppose to stop...
I have an in line check valve for my foaming wax. Unfortunately it does not hold and I'm losing about 10 gal in chemical a night unless I turn the valve off.
The check valve that was on there was a VNR-1 made in Italy.
The rest of the information is as follows 450 bar, 45 f / min, 90...
