Look at your unloader. Some unloaders have bypass stamped on the bypass port. If that doesn't work, the hose coming from your unloader going back to the high side of your pump is your bypass. To plumb this to your tank, you need to get a plug for your pump, should be 3/8. Next, you'll need...

Hott blaster, I apologize for taking so long. My username has not let me post anything all week and now it is finally working. The oil industry is the majority of my business. Now, we do several types of rigs. I.e. swab rigs, workover rigs, and drilling rigs. I'm assuming you're talking...

I would think that you could but you would have to upgrade all your lines as well. I also am not sure how your pressure and/or flow switches would react with two machines being on the same line. I would think that you might have to change your unloaders as well to handle high gpm or just use...

I do a lot of truck fleets and a good bit of oilfield work as well and have been running four machines. Three of them are gas powered and one is diesel. We changed the unloader to a large volume unloader and split the discharge hose into two where we can run two guns on each machine. To do...

Right there with you Larry

That ain't no toy...that's a work truck! You should be happy with that one, I've got three of them, two f-350's and one f-250 and all have been very reliable. The f-250 has 156,000 on it and pulls close to 10,000 lbs every day. Be careful with the 6.0 litre though, a lot of people go to...

Yep...these are used for exactly what you're thinking and you know how bad those lease roads are after just one day of raining. That's the conclusion I've come to is buying the wash mat and recovering the water into one of their trailers.

Several possibilities here. You could have your soap too strong and it could be drying before your rinse. You might just not be getting all the soap off. Worst case scenario is one like I had with one of my accounts. The water you are using is too hard. Doesn't matter how hard you work at...

You know I didn't really think of that. They do always have some extra trailers sitting on the yard and I'm sure they could do that. They're not as worried about price being as how they are paying drivers to drive to the truck wash (20 miles) and paying over $200.00 per truck to get them...

Somehow I knew I would get a post like yours....yes, you are missing something. Garbage truck=bobtail with bed, mud from land-fill, leaking garbage. Vacuum truck=off the road a lot, lots of leaks from pump and rear-end housing, lots of build up...vacuum trailer, 40 foot long, all the mud and...

I don't know if this should go under wastewater or not but here is my problem. I've been washing fleets for over five years. I've been really blessed to pick up accounts that already have wash pits in place to capture all water. We do vacuum trucks, dump trucks, all sorts. I gotta call the...

There's 9 or 10 of them. What is the chemical base of blue lightning and where can I get it? Is it still for use as the first step in two step?

I'm gonna agree with mr. alan, not real sure 16hp will produce 10 gpm and a single axle trailer? If you buy it, get a real trailer. And that water tank, probably isn't going to do much good when you're washing trucks. And the client base, if I were you, i would look at his books, or at least...

They're polished aluminum trailers

I agree with Michael, just because you've never seen them advertised or don't know they are there for that matter doesn't mean there's not some half-assers around the corner. I've dealt with them. I WILL NOT drop my prices. I have never lost a contract and have been told on the ones where...
