I recently got a call for a mobile job and while i have done 2 already with the customer providing water and electricity this one couldn't. I do not want to spend 1500+ on some kits out there but just wanted basically a tank with some kind of manual pump. Is there anything out there? I just dont have the money right now to get into that since i dont do mobile as my primary. thanks guys.

Use ONR and a pump sprayer to rinse the wheels.

Call your closest chemical place and buy 55 gallon plastic barrel and get yourself 12V water pump with a pressure switch.

There are a several places that carry water tanks with sizes from 5 gallon capacity to 500 gallons. you can get a great 12volt ON-Demand water pump for $100 and you are set. I save ALOT of time by bringing my own water setup, there is no variables with it.

Here is a link to my trailer......I must say I have never looked back at the days that I wasted time dealing with customers water hoses, spigots, nozzles, ETC. One time the customer told me they had a hose for me to use and when I got there the hose was like 6 feet long and it didn't even reach the driveway! LOL....my total set up....tank, pump, hose reel, hose, and nozzle was under $400 and in my opinion the best money I spent.
