The info supplied is too limited. Detail, carefully, the Banki when working -- head of the water, volume, and generator capacity. RPM if you know, diameter of the Banki, the width of the Banki. Volume size of the tank and the height of the tank in reference to the Banki and if the Banki could be placed may feet or meters below the tank.
