Ok, it sounds bizarre, but I want to know if I jack an additional section or two of hard suction 6" off of our first due engine, can I reach out 25' to 35' to a run off pond and draft horizontally to the supply engine?
The pond has a short levy that sits maybe 8' above the paved surface the truck will park on and it is about 25' to the edge of the water. The depth of the pond is about 10' (give or take a bit). This is at a somewhat water starved production plant. The hold pond is rather large so it seems it could be a viable source.
We do draft from the midmount pump to the nose of the engine (port-a-pond) with 20' of suction off the steamer regularly. So, how far horizontally can we go?
