Northern Tools have a decent collection of tanks. Size depends on personal preferance and how you will utilize it. I personally use a 100 gallon tank on a Chevy S10 long bed pick up.:welcome to Detail City.
Same here Northerntools and 100 gallon, by the way where in NC you located?
Just getting started in Raleigh, NC... still shopping for tanks. Looks like most mobile detail systems use 100 gallon, had a sales person try to sell a 200 gallon tank though. Is 100 gallon enough? How many cars can you do with 100 gallon?
hey nice to hear from someone from Raleigh, I am from Charlotte. If you need something "portable" go with 100 gallon 1 gallon is what 8 pounds, so 800 for 100 gallon tank. I use 5X8 cargo trailer which can hold 2000 pounds and it is definately noticeable when the tank is full. Also if you have pressure washer read how many gpm on it mine is 2.5 (100/2.5= 40 minute of constant water supply).
Maybe try Tractor Supply they have them. If i was mobile which i plan to be in the future i would go with a 100 gal. tank. BTW glad to see someone else from NC im from Zebulon
Here are two links that could be of use... :)
U. S. Plastics - look for "Linear Low Density Polyethylene Flat Bottom Utility Tanks"
Chem-Tainer - look for "Transport Tanks"
I like the dr_detail idea, but the only thing is the cost of shipping is to much.
:wait Cool to see another person around the Triangle! There should be some places to purchase a water tank. Hope you have great success and stick on DC! :)
Both have 800#`s and local distributors ;)Quote:
