Nice! That’s a hell of a lot of SH…aren’t you required to have a hazmat endorsement and placards over 50gals?
Real nice. Clean. Simple. Love it
@APW1 65 in the roof tank (rear) 35 in the housewash tank (front). That drum is empty and the food grade one had degreaser in it. I do still have my hazmat endorsement but I think it runs out this year and I’m not renewing it. Not for washing, from my other job.
@anon61323032 I tied keeping it as efficient as possible without overcomplicating things. Today is the first real test. We have 6 good size houses.

If I’m not mistaken the limit is 100 gallons.

Technically 1000 lbs. But yeah, that’s about 100 gallons since 12.5% is right around 10 lbs per gallon.

Looks like you spent a lot of time on the trailer and it looks nice.
A couple of questions:
- Why did you put the gasoline tank above the engine? I see a potential fire hazard there when filling the tank or if a leak develops.
- Why not put all the hose reels on the passenger side? I can see that weight distribution of the water tank may have been an issue, but for safety reasons I would think they’d be better on one side (pax), that is if you are doing primarily residential.
Thoughts to my questions? Just learning what works from others at this point.

Didnt have any problems with tanks, other then they are ugly. Upgraded to a blue aluminum tank.
Hose reels I back into alot of driveways and it’s nice to have the option on which way to go. Also one reel was for the machine on its side. If I’m running 2 machines the go in different directions. I moved my softwash to the passenger side mid season where my soap tank was located in this pic.

Thanks. I think I’m going to put an aluminum flatbed on the 250 over the winter and try to get away from trailers if possible. Seems like the next logical step.

If you drive here I’d probably give you my aluminum flatbed. A huge regret in getting it. Get a service body for your F250
There’s a exile bunch of keywords you can use and gery a variety of bed types, such a trade bed, welder bed, line bed…

I really like that truck
I seen a few service bodies I liked but they dont look as practical and they are double the price. In a perfect world I’d find a mechanics bed with a wood floor but I dont think I can fit all my junk on it. Flat bed seemed like my best shot at making everything fit, and if I decide to plow in winter I can still get a salt spreader on it. I havent made a decision yet, just exploring options so I appreciate the input!
