product running in empty bays.

[rossallen768]

so i have 3 bays with tire cleaner slow running from the guns. all the pumps are off, bays empty, rotary switch in stop. not sure were to start. obviously its not gravity feeding from the tank, so what is driving it?

 

[MEP001]

Trash in the solenoids.

but even if the solenoid is open i wouldn't think a tank 3 inch deep would push fluid 20 foot straight up the hose to the attic. i may be way off base though still very new at all this

It can still siphon as long as as the tip in the bay is lower than the liquid in the tank, it makes no difference how high the line goes.

Have you ever siphoned fluid out of container onto the ground? Same effect here. Unless there is a way to break the siphon effect it will indeed drain out.

If trash is in the check valve solenoid you will likely see a weak stream of product in that bay when another bay is using tire cleaner.

I assume you meant solenoid.

Yeah, solenoid fixed. Thanks
