💡 Burp Drafting - Can I burp draft by flowing from a deck gun? 🚒 Andy Soccodato of The Water Thieves discusses a variation of the burp drafting technique he teaches (recirculating water through the tank fill valve). Can you use a deck gun? What limitations does this tweak come with? "One approach is to flow water out of the deck gun to achieve a burp draft," Andy says.

💥 BAM — your primer dies on a rural scene. No hydrants. No backup. Just stress. But there’s a hack every rural firefighter should have in their back pocket: Burp Drafting. Instead of packing it in, you flip open tank to pump and tank fill - and let that water rip. 🌊 You’re creating suction the old-school way — using your engine’s own recirculation to force air out and water in. It’s fast. It’s reliable. And it could be the reason you still knock down the fire when your primer fails. | Task For

BURP DRAFT STEPS 3-5 💨 Failed primer during drafting? Step 3: Open tank-to-pump and tank fill fully (gate back if you’ve got 2" plumbing).
