Good to know !!!

How much positive pressure should put in?

Excellent! nice work flow.

You meant this link: I wouldn't try it on the river like that, but LMTV should be able to ford water far higher than this. It is a diesel engine, as long as the air take is higher than the water. ;) PS: SS prevents the link show up xxxx://@@@@.com/view?t=sBwvY_1594056907 Replace xxxx...
