Ray if you hit up your local Tractor Supply you can pick up a 125 gal. In the $300 range. Save on shipping.

Whats wrong with the barrels?

Kleen Roof and Exterior Cleaning · Jun 10, 2011

If you are going to keep the trailer, go with 50 gal. tanks. Trailer is to small for the big tanks. Just starting out, 2 50 gallon tanks will work for you. I switched out my 100 gallon tanks to 50's and carry a 100 gallon tank in the back of my truck if I need extra on certain days. Remember the allowable limit to carry with out special licensing.

Iv'e been searching but like you said, shipping is just about the same price as the horrizontal tanks.

Chech with some of the company's that produce fruit juice concentrates. The 235 gal tanks they ship in can only be used 1 time for food products. I bought one 1.5 years ago for $35.00. Just replaced it with another due to it starting to leak from sitting outside last winter in 10* weather and getting shoved around by my ATV and snow plow.

They are very durable and very cheap. $35.00 for a tank that let me make $1000's is a no brainer.

What happens to the barrels when you get into an accident. They aren't strapped in and i dont think you really can strap them in they are just projected missiles.

I would start with maybe 1 (50) gallon tank and and strap it in with come along tie downs anchored to eye bolts mounted to the trailer. Go on craigslist and find your tank or go around to yard sales ( i found a fifty gallon poly tank practically brand new for 40 bucks).

Second get yourself a power washer 4gpm and 3000psi for house washing its faster and you also will need it for concrete. downstream your chemicals and use soft washing tips on your gun.

Next call around and find a titan hose reel 12-18 inch and put your hose reel on the curb side of your trailer easy access and will get you some speed on the wrap up and roll out.

I like it. I did the same thing on my first build with the 2x4's and 55 gallon drums a couple of years ago. I bought a poly tank for my mix since then. In fact I'm upgrading from a 65 gallon mix tank to a 100 gallon tank as we speak. Keep reading the posts and you will learn a lot. I know I have.
