A force pump is carried by the car,which has a tank for holding the water, and mechanism which is oper-ated by the motion of the wheels operates the force pump. A dis-tributing pipe leads from the pump and a by-pass valve is connectedthereto. A two-way valve alternately directs the flow of water eitherthrough the distributing pipe or through the by-pass pipe, whereby acontinuous flow of water from the pump may be provided for.
