    I love the energy you got a lot off nice equipment, but there’s definitely ways to improve. 1)Water tank way too big most you need is a 100 gallon
    2) get an actually hose reel
    3) a water pump
    4)build a frame
    I know it gets expensive but you’ll save so much time at each job and will make huge difference !!!!

      Once full, that tank will be just over 2,000lbs

    FYI, if you fill that water tank to capacity, the weight would be almost double of what the actual load capacity of the that van.

      @ad7711x Рік тому +2

      @@chiefoutdoors he said that water tank is 1000 gallons. One gallon weighs 8.34 pounds. So if he filled it up that’s 8,340 lbs of water. So that’s 4 tons. So either he never fills it up or that’s not a 1000 gallon tank.

    @Ichabod_Jericho 3 роки тому +2

    1,000 gallons of water is crazy over kill lol you’ll only use 12 gallons on a sedan and 20 on 8 seat SUV’s. Also if you fill your tank up, your van is now holding 7,480 lbs. More weight than towing two Honda Civics behind you.
    make sure the tank is welded to the frame, right in between the axles of the van and build everything around that. Even if your tank is halfway full it will be huge hazard anyone inside lol

    Great video thank you BUT That water tank is ok when you drive around in it when it is empty.. but will crumble like a deck of cards when even 1/3 full in a head on car crash and is a huge safety risk when that happens because it will automatically move forward when you crash .. . definite no no buddy espeically as you have no bulkhead... IBC are made for stationary .. Ask any professional window cleaner . they have the same setup except for the IBC. The other thing is check the water hardness in your area...Best using Dionized water for Car detailing
