Hi BB,
Funny you should mention the catcher...I got that too...but didn't photograph it. It needs a bit of repair, but it is nothing I can't fix with some fine MIG welding work.

And that...is the whole idea of me picking it up...a nice meticulous restoration job where I can spend hours in my man cave doing what I like best.

The fogger, well, as you can see the muffler is now located on the end of an extension that I made for $8.00 from Bunnings. The copper tube I had laying in the shed gathering dust. The pump up spray bottle was about $5 and the plastic tubing and brass fittings were in a tin of bits and pieces I have.

The basic idea of it is to pump a mixture of Diesel and Maldison flea and tick wash (I use 25 parts Diesel to 1 part Maldison ) into the copper pipe via a small stainless ball valve that I use to control the flow. It then flows down the pipe which is wrapped around the extension which acts as a pre-heater so the liquid is nice and hot before it goes into the exhaust extension via the "T" where you see the pipe connected to it.

The super heated mixture is then burnt by the hot exhaust gasses and this produces a lovely thick cloud of Mosquito killing fog that penetrates everywhere in the foliage and grass that I treat. The adult mozzies don't die immediately though..it buggers up their nervous system and they die off in a day or two and are unable to breed. If you treat your yard about twice a week at sunrise and sunset ( when the mozzies are most active and the breeze the calmest) you will plunder their population like an atomic bomb.

All you have to do is make sure you have enough pressure pumped up to keep the mixture flowing and Bob"s your Uncle. Hey presto...a cheap home made fogger that cuts your grass as well as kills the mozzies.
Make sure you wear a mouth and nose filter like the Chinese do in Beijing..as inhaling the stuff will more than likely not be too good for your cast iron constitution.

Check out the YouTube video and you'll see where I got the idea from. I have a very small Brass Needle Valve being delivered from the US as the ball valve isn't precise enough to get the mixture running perfectly.
