M17A3 Decon complete kit. Worth keeping?

[Tinstar]

Last month I picked up an almost brand new M17A3 Decontamination Kit.
2.6 hours on meter.
Kit is complete and includes a big collapsible fabric water tank and also a diesel powered water pump.
Accessories locker was still banded and locked from factory.

I bought it to flip but are these worth keeping and using?
The old threads say that while they do produce very hot water,, the pressure isn’t there. Maybe 200psi or so.

Setup looks like a pain to get going and don’t really want to mess with it, unless it really works well.

Ideas?

Well, if I ran a boy Scout camp, this is what I would use to give the kids hot shower water. Once we got an operator who knew how to make it work right, we took it on field problems just to use as a shower point. We called it NBC training, but it made a real fine shower point.

You get all the TM's with it?

I read the old threads about these and unfortunately the pressure is only about 200psi or so.
Definitely not like a standard pressure washer.

It was not built to be a pressure washer. Its a DECON Apparates. Apples and oranges.

Im well aware.

But I’ve read elsewhere that others have tried to make these a pressure washer and it failed miserably, with damaged equipment.

Edit:
Sold the whole setup.
Never used it.
Couldn’t be happier.
