    Rookie question.

    This may sound stupid but here it is. If I buy a cold water machine and want to add a burner later, can I add a 110v unit. I didn't know if you were adding on if it could only be a 12v or if it could be either. Is there anything that I would have to change to go to a 110 unit?

    Honda or Subaru engines?

    The skid I am looking at comes with the Honda GX690 and I think there is the possiblility of getting the Subaru on it. Do you all have a preference as to which might be a better engine. I like the Kohlers myself but it is not an option here.

    Since I am thinking about this line of work I went out today just to see how many companies I could potentially target. I only had about two hours to drive around and look. I came up with about 25 companies in that time. Before I thought about fleet washing I never gave it much thought as to how...

    Switching a floor cleaning rig into a pressure washing rig. How hard.

    I have a 24 liquid cooled vtwin kohler that drives a 4gpm @2500 psi cat pump and a #36 roots blower for recovery. I use this now for my floor cleaning business. My questions are how hard would it be to upgrade the pump to atleast a 5.5 gpm if not to an 8gpm pump. How hard would it be to convert...

    Does anyone get business right off the highway.

    Just wondering if anyone has pulled into a truck lot that is off the interstate and got business right there. Or if you just set up somewhere and get business from trucks coming in off the highway. Kind of the same question I guess.

Really interested in learning more about fleet and rail car washing. We do have big truck washes about an hour east...
