USS Wash-Ship....Git-R-Kleen

Nice job Guy.Each ones better than the last and I really liked your trailer.
 
Man I love those side doors Guy. Whoever did the wrap really got into to the detail. You can see the image on the hinges.




Predator tank is 1 gallon. Honda is 1.8 gallons. Can't imagine why you would build an engine with a 1 gallon tank!

you're right, guess I never noticed how small it was.
I got it when an engine went out and I was pressed for money
 
Keep in mind boys, longer the truck, less payload to play with. These trucks don't hold a lot of weight, and water is heavy and everything can add up quickly. I have an 2005 isuzu npr with a 14ft box. Small pressure washer and burner (I lifted both in separately, but the burner is only 240,000 btu's), inverter genny and 200 gallons of water and I am over weight with full fuel tanks.

3500/350 and 4500/450's good if you can fill up at site, if you need to carry 4 hours plus worth of water look for a bigger truck or a trailer to pull behind.

Just sharing my mistake as I didn't figure this out until after I had installed everything and had been using it for awhile.

Truck looks great though!
 
Isuzu here in the states has a gvr@15000 pounds.Mine weighs around 13000 with a full tank of water and equipment.These trucks are perfect for a house washing set up.Unless you are going were there is no water most of these trucks will be fine.I don't really want to go were there is no water anyway.You can always go up a size like international and the small freightliners to put the 500 to 1000 gallon tanks in.Then the annual operating cost goes through the roof.
 
Great looking truck Guy!!!

Talking about the fuel tank, something that I did with my E350 box van was hooked the machine right to the same gas tank on the van, it had a second pickup tube already there just pop the cap off and push a hose onto it.

Now just fuel the van and your ready to go for the day!!!

I've thought about doing something similar in the past but keeping track of how much gas the truck burns and the machine burns on the same fuel ticket just seems like a PITA to me.
 
That's a nice looking box van Guy. Very well thought out. Have you ever considered starting a side business of custom building set ups for other guys?

I save about $6000 a year in fuel tax savings by keeping my fuels separate. You can't do that if you are running the machines off the same tank as the truck.

That is a nice setup, though, if you are washing houses.
