Year: 2007

Okay so the tire cleaner was messed up again.  But I think I figured it out this time.  On one of the 2 bays, I did not replace the check valves and one of those had a problem.  I believe this is the bay for sure.  The poly line was repaired and the check valve looks like it had a leak.

It is nowhere near as bad as my last penny problem: Month long penny wash  But I need to check out the coin acceptor.

Can you believe that one of my meter box horns are broken?  I am afraid to open the meter box.  Something bad will probably happen.

Today I figured out where my mystery leak was coming from.  A super small cut above the brass fitting.

When I was removing the brass fitting I lost the screw-off cap.  I tried this extra push lock t-fitting and then threw this away.  (It seems to leak worse than the cracked hose.)  Now the hose is directly connected to the solenoid bank.

The tire cleaner is not working in any bays.  So, I replaced the check valve today which was the only bay that did not work yesterday and then I figured out what the problem was, a wire was disconnected.  The check valve in front of the Flojet was also stuck.  Which means that this was not the broken bay.

I did replace 3 check valves today in 3 bays.  Maybe I got the broken one?  Tomorrow if I am still having a problem I can use these check valves to replace the other 2.

Okay, so my plan did not work.  But the check valve before the Flojet got stuck shut which is good.  I tested all the bays again and can not get any check valve to fail.  The only hint I got today was the tire cleaner does not work in one of the bays.  I think I found the bay, I will need to get a check valve and try and fix it tomorrow.  I put a cone in the bay.

The high pressure pattern is messed up and I replaced the tip.  The last picture is something I purchase from KR and I really like it.  It is a 1/4 tip wrench thing.
