Guys, any reason not to do the following.  Cut and taper a drum to fit into the top of existing tank about 300mm high, somehow fit an over extractor fan, and have it as a removable extractor on wash / dry tank?

I''d need to run extractor on slow and pipe in some compressed air to the bottom of the tank so as not to cause a partial vacuum.

Sure should!  But I'd be happy with any kind of fan that extracts.

Got a reply from the factory... they're not back in till 7th.  It's crazy they have August off, a bunch of odd public days, every Wednesday (when they're not on holiday) and from the 21st Dec to 7th January.

No wander so many Italian businesses need help from the Government!
