    I have a 5 ton International truck with 24 ft enclosed insulated box. 2 units with 18hp honda's 4000psi / 4gpm's and a 38HP diesel Lombardini w/ 6.6gpm / 5800 psi. Probably close to 2000 ft of hose with us all the time and has an 1100 gallon steel tank (home made) epoxy lined. Also has a independant boiler so if you want hot water just plug to it. Sweet setup and works well. But will probably get rid of the truck and put everything in a trailer. Looking right now for an Exiss trailer, 36 ft fifth wheel, triple axle with ramp door. I usually work within a 300 mile radius from home so I get better fuel mileage with my pickup than the 5 ton. Also looking for another F350 for towing the 34 ft flatbed when hauling manlifts or my other enclosed trailer. Dan

    Limonene

    Did you prewet the windows? A dry window in direct sunlight can get very hot. It is possible that applying soap directly to a hot window could cause the soap to flash dry. It can happen in seconds. Always prewet windows. If there is a chance that overspray can land on anything that it should not be on, then prewet those surfaces too.

    Limonene

    I have used espec's limonene in house washing, but the problem I have is the instructions only pertain to how to mix it up to make 55 gallons. Thats it. There are no instructions on ratios to use or what it is designed specifically to work on. Plus, no msds. All that fancy lingo in the ad and blamo disappointo. If you are looking for Limonene to work on mildew or algae, it doesnt. If you are looking for it to clean something, there is nothing stating what it is supposed to clean. Its advertised for house washing, but when I wash a house, it is to remove mildew/algae or oxidation. There are 2 different methods involved in the removal of each. Alone, limonene has not been effective on either. As we all know, dirt falls off the siding just from hot water alone. Mildew/algae need a strong oxidizer to kill it in order to remove it easily, otherwise, you have to beat it off with high pressure (2500psi+) Oxidation is removed well under a 2 step acid/alkaline process and rinsed with hot water under moderate pressure (600-900 psi) After trying Limonene at a number of concentrations, it now sits on a shelf waiting for a qualified use as a degreaser.
