Hi Stephen,
Mine was from the "original" manufacturer who it would appear went out of business, or at least dropped off the face of the Earth. The original Web site (Outback in) was not accessible and I thought that was the end of a great product.
The Tanami Pump used to be distributed by Opposite Lock in SA and that was where I originally bought
mine.
It was good to see a "new" manufacturer had obtained the rights to the patent and has now expanded their range to include a model for the plastic Willow brand with more to follow for other makes. They really are the Ants Pants in fuel transfer devices and I cannot picture using anything else.
Perhaps if you contacted the manufacturer you may be able to buy one direct. Failing that, contact one of the retail outlets listed on their Web site.
Actually, I have a "small problem" with my new rig.
With the Jackaroo, I used the air from the rear mounted spare tyre to pressurise the
tank being emptied. I made up a length of air hose with a quick tyre connector at each end and an in-line valve to control the airflow. The Jerry cans remained in their cradles on the A-frame of the camper trailer.
I now have a Colorado Dual Cab Turbo Diesel which has no rear mounted spare so I have to come up with another solution for air pressure. Probably a cheap foot pump will be added to the kit, but down the track I may look at a rear bumper mounted tyre carrier. Not a priority however.
Bill.
