[modeleng] Cheap Coolant System Update

Thanks for replies from Julian, Cliff, Jeff, Steve & Alan.
 
I have located a couple of washing machine pumps and have been thinking of  
ways to incorporate them in a coolant supply system, I am concerned about  the 
H&S aspect as they have exposed terminals which would require special  
protection. Also it would take several hours to produce a suitable mounting  
arrangement.
 
I like Jeffs suggestion of a scrap yard pump and that could be worth  
investigating but again it would take some time to produce a suitable  mount.
 
Alans gravity feed would be a quick solution but I wanted an  'automatic' 
system.
 
So after some discussion with SWMBO I have been allowed to invest more  money 
in a slightly more expensive version (she could not put up with the temper  
tantrums any longer). I believe that several of these alternative units have  
been sold without a problem and I have good reports of the company  supplying 
them.
 
I will persue the suppliers of the original system, with a view to get even  
some of my money back and I will certainly raise the Sale of Goods act aspect  
but I am not holding my breath. Any way, the tank and the electric's could be 
 used for a better system at a later date.
