    Generator Problem

    Low voltage is usally a sign of a bad voltage regulator. If your rpm"s are to low you will have low hertz, if rpm is to fast hertz will be high. Hertz should be between 58 and 62.

    Exhaust from smoke stack

    If your not two stepping then as tracy said you"ll need a degreaser and hot water helps. As for the switching chems at the gun I couldn't find anything I liked so I built one out of a remote car door opener.

    Mixing Soap

    My new remote setup worked great. It is made from a keyless entry system. I can shut down the system and switch between soaps from the remote. The only problem is it doesn't respond very well if I am between trailers, but I just switch soaps from where I can see my trailer I have lights on the...

I have a cheap 3 wire extention cord (150 foot) that i cut the ends off, wraped the cord and my hose together with some spiral wrap to protect the wire (if you dont the cord gets caught on everything) and...

    Mixing Soap

    HF is hydroflouric acid, yes you can run acid and soap through 1 injector with a "T" but you will also have a valve so not to draw both at the same time, a 3 way valve would work best. I run mine with 2 valves so I can switch between acid and soap at the gun, I got real tired of walking to my...

    Mixing Soap

    When I tried citric I went as much as 1:1 and then downstreamed through a 20% fixed injector, it did work but I still needed to pull the brush out and the citric didn't seem to work well on the diesel smoke so I had to carry de-greaser along also. It also doesn't brighten the rails as well as HF.

    Mixing Soap

    I tried citric for 2 stepping and it will work you have to mix it real strong (gets expensive) and it still doesn't work as good as HF. If you are going to 2 step just remember Hf is VERY NASTY stuff do some research on it and be careful. Oh ya be care full around glass and polished aluminum.

    Fleet Chemical/Brush Issues!!!!HELP!!

    Just wondering are you using hot water? I personally use the 2 step method and almost never use a brush on trailers. One of my accounts has black tractors so I do brush them b/c they don't want acid on them I just use a standard 14" brush I bought somewhere on the internet, probably the cheapest...
