Don't think I'll be doing many parking decks with this rig unless I stay on bottom.....Probably going to focus on store fronts, sidewalks ect...
we have had tons of calls from Atlanta area, look at the ads wow everyone is in a panic and most are bailing for no reason what so ever

I have a HUGE job in Peach Tree City next month because they only found contractors who were unsure of themselves , they said they got a bunch of ahhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhhh and I think maybe uhhhhhhhh

That is a nice rig.

You might think about installing 2" bulkhead fittings on the top of those so you could connect to a 2" line from a meter off a fire hydrant because sometimes the regular supply will not be enough for both of those machines running at the same time or just to fill up quick.

I would also get 2" ball valves on the bottom with lines running out the back or side of the trailer so you could empty the tanks when finished so you are not hauling all that extra weight. 8.33 pounds per gallon adds up quick.

Good luck.

I can use a fire hydrant to fill up from the bottom of tanks as well as draining the with the 2" line, its takes about 10 min or so to drain each 525 gal tank.
I did learn one thing the other night on a job, I had to shut down for the night because my air filters stopped up because I had not put in my exaust
vents in yet, so know I am in the process of getting it properly ventilated
(which is what I should have done already!!)

Laws always vary from place to place, but make sure that you do not need an air gap when filling from a hydrant or you will be in a heap of trouble. The air gap is aside from all other legalities that go with using a hydrant, such as a meter.

I would not want to even go there. I LOVE parking garages. I like to do 2 or 3 a month, and then doe my regular accounts on top of that. Makes mama happy, too.
