The Flojet push lock fitting started leaking again today. It looks like the brass insert in the fitting it coming out. I just replaced it with about 5 other fittings (last picture).
What happened was the tire cleaner leaked on top of the holding tank. Then the chemical leaked through the holding tank hinges. This made the foam bush, high pressure soap and rinse water all be tire cleaner. I had to siphon out all the tire cleaner.
I believe this vacuum is an AirServ 24? This was an interesting vacuum setup.
The coin box location is welded shut, and has no bars or locks (first two pictures). The third picture is how the vacuum is bolted to the concrete slab.
These special nuts are used to fasten the stainless steel dome. The last two pictures are the slab the vacuum was mounted on and the two holes are for dropping the assembled vacuum in place?
The hose wore out or something? I took the hose out then cut the hose and reinstalled.
Now the hose is a lot longer.
I am almost done, it needs to be patched because it attracts mud.
2 bay self serve and a vacuum.
I think this is the owners car. It is always out front.
This is taking forever.
I got 45.6 mpg today and 502.2 miles on one tank of gas. 11 gallons of gas ($32.80) and it was under $60 unlike my other car. That is really pretty good; twice as good as my other car (20 mpg average). The Fit gas tank is 10.8 gallons, according to the manual, so I did pretty good not running out of gas.
Look what I found “Robbie D. Wood” personal mud flaps. I guess he is from Dolomite, Alabama. I also pressured washed today.
