    Trim turned blue??

    I just read that Honda RIdgeline pickups years 17 - 19 are under recall because acid based soaps at car washes causes the fuel pump to develop cracks. Honda is installing cover over the fuel pump under the recall/

    Trim turned blue??

    Anodized metal trim on BMW and MB seem to do it most. Generally you can take some polishing compound like me meguiars scratch X and remove it with a clean cloth. Similar to oxidized paint.

    Car WASH Guy, I think I toured your wash once with the WCA. Pictures do not do it justice.

    Contactor coil

    This has happened to me twice in 25 years. Ryko SS pump bench with Baldor motor and Wanner pump but could happen on any equipment. When selecting any HP function in the bay the timer would reset itself and we would get no HP, I figured a draw on the 24 volt side of things and checked the water...

    This problem happened to me the other day and it is only the 2nd time in 25 years that I experienced this. Ryko SS pump stand using wanner pumps and Baldor 5 HP motors. Problem could happen to any motor though. When we turned the rotary dial to HP soap or rinse the timer would start acting up...

    I have stainless steel enclosures made that have a hinged top with a hole in the lid. They also have locks and a looped cover over the hole. They still look new after 25 years.

    The trouble I have found with using 55 or 30 gallon drums is that they are not tapered so they are harder to dump and get everything out of them.

    Is this normal sewer charges???

    I currently pay 3X my water bill for sewer service. That is how they do it each month. I once had a location in a different town that looked back 10 years to find the highest month on record for water. It was 1 million gallons due to the fact they had not read the meter in 6 months during my...

    Today's Break down

    I have a suggestion for Pat and Jackson. I think it would be nice to have a area where operators can post equipment break downs and what they did to fix the problem. Most all of our equipment is basically the same with different brand names on them. If you have a problem come up and fix it it...
