Infinity Cleaning Mobile 3.0, aka Truck Norris

There’s a regulator :+1:t2:

I think I’ve just got some flow restrictions that I need to work out. I was lazy about setting up my equipment on Wednesday. Instead of installing a new bulkhead, I just used a jumper hose as a drop tube and dropped it into the top of my tank :rofl:

I think I might also upgrade all the plumbing between the tank and the reel from 1/2” to either 5/8” or 3/4”.

I have no idea what your doing other than heating water for window cleaning, so I won’t offer my .02 there. THe issue you may have is that they overfilled the tank. When they do that there is too much liquid and you will have issues. The valve could be bad too. Trace water in the line will cause problems happens when insttalls occur while it is freezing out. Worked at a gas, oil, and propane place as a highschooler, seen it all. Absolutely hated filling 100lb tanks in 10 degree weather while the guys sat in their heated trucks. Never offfered a hand hauling the tank out of the pickup or loading it back, but they would crack the window and say tie it down this way or that way.

The heater worked reliably while on tap pressure. It also seemed to work smoothly without the restriction of the wfp tubing and rinse bar. So I really think it’s just a water flow issue.

But that’s some interesting info about lpg tanks

Well that just builds character :rofl:

Ok, sorry I couldn’t help.

Never apologize for sharing helpful info. Just because it wasn’t helpful to my situation, doesn’t mean somebody else won’t find it useful.

Finally getting these tanks re-plumbed with higher bulkheads.

Also plumbing the tanks together with valves, so I have the option to pull from either one or both of the tanks with the pressure washer.

The barb fittings coming off of either tee are for the wfp (window cleaning) pump, and the clear water line for my injector rinse.

(I may eventually change out the camlocks for flange fittings, if the need arises. I know they’re not exactly recommended for suction applications.)

It’s coming together…

Looks clean! So many quick connects haha.

I love me some camlocks :joy:

It’s approximately 7’. About a foot longer than the stock bed.

Wish they had some flatbeds just a little wider. This would’ve fit nicer on a first gen Tacoma or S10. But the next size up was meant for full size trucks, and would’ve stuck out like crazy.

I got the bed first mentioned in post 17 above. I don’t think I would recommend it. It would probably make more sense to have one custom built by a reputable builder, after all the modifications I’ve had done to it. The welds are kind of so-so, as well. The weight of it is hard to beat, though. Only 225 lbs; practically the same as the stock composite (plastic) bed.

Very interesting. Clearly a lot of time put into that build! My Tacoma has a short 5 ft bed that I’m working out of right now but because of the limited space and the want for an 8 gpm, I am a short 4K away from dropping the bomb on a 7x14 enclosed trailer build. I just hope the taco can haul it!

Supposed to have a 6500 lb tow capacity, IIRC. But check your manual.

Make sure and get a trailer with brakes!

Definitely will have brakes! Going with dual axle for better control and weight handling. Wondering if I need to upgrade anything on the Tacoma to make it haul more efficiently like suspension or installing a brake controller

Yeah, you’ll need a brake controller. They’re pretty cheap.

I also think every taco should have air bags. I have the Firestone kit in mine. Somewhere around $300, and a fairly easy install.

I also plan on upgrading to the Bilstein 5100 shocks. The stock ones aren’t liking the added weight, and the truck porpoises on lumpy roads.

And the Orange Virus Tune is pricy, but worth it in my mind. Better power and shifting behavior. If you’re gonna tow with it, then even more important.

Ovtunings website is kinda messy. Seems like I have to buy their tuner, then buy their tuner pack? Confusing. Also, could you link those airbags ?

Just caught up on this thread. That is one beautiful truck build! I have passed the tipping point of PW to WC jobs this year finally. I started by quitting doing storms, then stopped all jobs that required high interior ladder work. Then quit doing any interiors that requires moving ANY furniture. Now, the only interior windows I do are easy peasy. More money, less headache for sure.

what about bringing the pressure washer to the outside and fit two tool boxes maybe with a bit more depth either side of the pressure washer, will give you the space you need and make it easier to start / fill the machine ect.

I have bags on my Tacoma and it still doesn’t like it when I throw a loaf of light bread in the bed :slight_smile: it will however, back a raft into a swampy river and not get stuck :slight_smile:

I have been getting some pretty awesome fuel mileage with Chuck lately. My average all summer has been right around 18.5 mpg. This tank is off to a good start:

I attribute the fuel efficiency to the Orange Virus Tune, higher tire pressures (~37F/42R) and being fanatical about using non-ethanol gas. I will even top off my gas can and pressure washer before filling the truck, just to clear any ethanol fuel from the pump.
