One of your motors is probably dead. If you put your hand up to them you will probably be able to tell which one. The only other thing that comes to mind is if the door is not sealed properly.

Well it is true that the fatter I get the longer it takes to wash myself! There was a time when that monkey could have been the cause but alas the days of shower monkey spanking have past. I don't know what "continuity setting" means. Thx

Ok you caught me pretending to know what I was talking about. I don't really know what I checked. I put the volt meter on each of the screws on the 2 elements. It pegged the bottom one and didn't move the top one. Same thing after I replaced the element. I do not hear a click when I turn up the...

This is actually about my home electric water heater. I noticed that I was having to adjust the water in the shower if I was second to take one. I put the volt meter on the elements. The bottom was fine but no conductivity on the top. I put in a new element but still no conductivity. What else...

I took the line loose to make sure that there was no pressure in it. It's ok now. Before I cleaned the check valve it was leaking from the unloader all of the time. Now the unloader only leaks when the motor is running and lets off pressure afterwards.

I use less than half that per car. Do most people use 20 gals. or more of sfr?

So you would go ahead and install the new motor?

Look in the library at the top of the page.

I took off the check valve this morning, cleaned it and put it back. It stopped the leak that I could hear. After that I shut down the compressor and took the small hose off that runs to the regulator(? the one that looks like a tire stem). There was no pressure there. I think it may be fixed...

I wonder if this bad check valve could be responsible for my motor problems. I couldn't hear it till friday but it could have been leaking back into the pump causing strain on the motor. Think?

This is a little off topic but I once had a coin bounce out of the bin and get stuck to the speaker (which is magnetic). Every time the machine would try to speak it would short out. I was on the phone with Hamilton when I looked down and saw the quarter stuck to the speaker. When I pulled it...

I can't imagine how you are getting 1000 gallons behind with a 4500 gal/day capacity. How much sf do you use per car?

Mark, It was supposed to rain today and I expected to work on this. Turns out I've got cars lined up again today. We had our best day ever yesterday. It looks like it will be very close to get that valve out w/out removing the motor mount. Please tell me that it will come out.

I keep accumulating backup plans and parts but I never seem to have everything I need. I don't think that my motor issue is related to this leak. I think if I could find a spare tank it would lighten the load somewhat on my compressor. I'm going to take the check valve off tomorrow if it rains...

Yesterday my compressor started leaking. It is coming from the little switch that turns it on and off. The switch that looks like a tire valve sort of. We have had lines out into the road for the last 2 days so I have not been able to try to do anything. My auto uses a lot of air. It is a...

I would be very surprised if you got 2500 cars/month from this c store but I don't have any numbers to back that up. I do know that it goes down exponentially when it's not on site.

Most of those other investments won't break down on Thanksgiving, freeze up on Christmas and create garbage and messes every day for you to clean up. IMO you would regret your decision in a short time, much like the current owner. Does not seem like much reward for the amount of risk and work to me.

Many if not most chemical suppliers will send someone to set up your wash with their product and provide samples to do so. If you make note of your prior settings you can always switch back w/out it costing you anything. Often the disty's get used to the oil companies not paying attention to how...

Alan, What exactly do you do in the process? I'm guessing that you facilitate the paperwork and red tape. If someone was already working with a bank but wanted to use sba could they go through you and use their hometown bank?

Well you pump them when they are full, not when that guy has a car payment! You might want to reexamine some of the other things they told you as well.
