    Just out of curiosity. What is being done with the runoff into the storm drains from these places, not to mention our roadways, every time it rains? Oh I see.......NOTHING! Exactly how long do these contaminants stay trapped in the surface of concrete with constant weathering? Right...nothing is forever. So, in reality, it's the cities that want concrete and asphalt roadways which should have reclaim systems intercepting all water that goes into storm drains, right? It's not exactly environmentally friendly to waste massive amounts of resources for every contractor on the planet to buy and maintain reclaim equipment when it could be done more efficiently by the cities themselves.

    I get the feeling this isn't really about environmental concerns. It's more about chest pounding and pushing the small guy out of business.

    Outstanding observation in red above.

    In a drivethru we are being asked to believe that it is preferable to

    spend an extra 20 minutes of small engine from a vacuum and pump puffing exhaust out into the atmosphere -

    fueled by a few gallons of fuel -

    some of which got spilled at the gas station -

    where it was delivered by a 5 mpg semi truck puffing exhaust across country -

    after being refined accompanied by whatever fumes that may have produced (been to Houston lately?)

    and having been shipped across the ocean in a tanker that may or may not have spilled much of its cargo -

    bought from a country of people who want to see us all dead.

    In exchange for all that we capture a miniscule amount of something or another which may or may not even be harmful to anything (french fry grease alert! SAVE THE CHILDREN!!!) -

    - And scalp our cities with pricing that is borderline criminal especially in this economy where people are being laid off city jobs.

    It's some of the most ridiculous and self destructive thought processes this country has ever given itself to.

    I can produce a video like Jim's if I just stirred up a little dirt from the bottom of Lake Tahoe and sumped it out. Big deal. It's a little dirty. Having participated in garage cleanings before I can tell you first hand that Solid Black runoff comes off in sheets even where there is not a drop of oil. It is simply dirt and tire marks. Yes, those deadly tires that they have thrown in ocean to make reefs for years that kill all our fish and children.

    In response to Jim's video. I'd like for everyone to bow their heads in remembrance of the millions of children killed from the BP oil spill. Oops, my bad, Didn't happen!

    Where did it all go? It went through the best filter every known to mankind - God's filter: nature.

    John, I don't think Shelly would respect me anymore if I didn't stay true to my beliefs. She married that man. She fell in love with the man I am.

    She knew what she was getting in to. She's also the quiet one who has had Chris Chappell, Ron **********, Tom Cusick, Matt Norman, Nigel Griffeth, Terry Campbell, Mike Tessaro, Tony Zsabo, Tony Richardson, Lou Gardner, Daryl Mirza, Jim Gamble and many others in our home.

    She's a pretty good judge of character too. She's the one who warns me right off the bat about people. I'm starting to learn to listen.

    It was funny John..... do you remember..?.....Shelly gave you the cold shoulder for the first 20 minutes when we met with you and Kathy because she thought you were someone else she met briefly before. Once she realized she was mistaken she opened up and realized she had mad a new friend. Crazy times! But it was great.

    I'll give you one way to bullet proof an Ariel lift Tony but you probably don't deal with these issues. Rinse it down after using Chlorine mixtures all day long. My bucket truck and especially my trailer now is getting eating alive due to Chlorine. That chemical is the best for residential cleanings but is as corrosive as heck with just the gases alone from it.

    Thanks John, but the only chlorine our trucks have ever seen is the single tablet we put in the water tank in the summer to kill tank algae

    Which one was that video taken at Jim? Burger King, Chick-fil-a or KFC? (No response necessary)

    Once again you are trying to tie infrequent garage cleaning runoff into the same category as frequently cleaned drive-thrus. This is where we differ.

    There has always been a difference between cleaning fleets and rinsing down used cars at the car lots. You are like the fleet guy who is mad because he has to reclaim so he goes on a crusade to make the poor guys rinsing used cars have to reclaim too, just for spite.

    It's disgusting and a petty way to do business.

    The industry could have benefited from your entry into the public realm. Considering the path you have taken the only way the industry will ever benefit is at your exit.

    This time I have asked you no questions So there is no need to reply. You've never answered any questions I've proposed before except this one. I almost fell out of my chair. Your answer was informative and would have been appreciated and understood had you not tried to pretend that Burger King runoff is the same.

    We also have another 3.8 liter 4 cyl Kubota Turbo Diesel Engine, computer controlled Trailer. Specs are 14 GPM at 4,000 psi with twin 3/4 inch coils 300+ ft long 1.5 mil BTU Burners.

    All trailers are Powder Coated to 10 mil or thicker for chemical resistance. Suspension is Torflex springLESS with 17.5 inch 16 ply tires. Hydraulic systems on the above trailer and this one. We are also building a MOTORIZED 7 ft wide surface cleaner.

    ANOTHER Filtration unit is also built for this unit. It is our smallest filter of the three filtration units. It is over 25 GPM flow with a 12 kw perking power plant whisper quite generator.

    What chemicals does your trailer come in contact with that it needs to be resistant to?

    We went with a uniform service. Costs me $30 per employee per month, and they are cleaned. There are advantages and disadvantages to it, but if i don't like what I am getting I am not under contract, and I get no penalties. That is what my service does, though.

    Thats pretty good pricing Scott. I did the same thing and used Unifirst when we had the dry clean delivery business. My only complaint was time issues. Everytime we hired a new driver it took almost a month to get him suited up. They did switch us from pants to shorts every summer for free though.

    There are some vendors on here who could sell you a great belt drive PW for $1500. If you really want to make sure it lasts route the unloader hose out into the grass so you can leave it running with the gun closed and don't have to worry about the single biggest cause of failure. And drain it or blow it out in the winter, and drain the carb when you aren't going to use it for over a month.

    I can't tell you how many 13 hp pressure washers I've bought for backups for pennies on craigslist that just had varnished up carbs. I don't even mess with them anymore, just keep some spare carbs on hand, switch em and they fire right up.

    Here's some trivia. The ignorant leftwing media gave Sarah Palin a lot of grief for saying that "Paul Revere warned the British". In fact, that is exactly what he did when he was captured the evening of his ride.

    He warned them with a highly exaggerated account of how many patriots were waiting for them at their destination. That warning was punctuated by the sound of gunfire coming from the town.

    The town hadn't even been warned yet and the gunfire was later determined to come from men clearing their weapons before entering a tavern! But that clearing of weapons was enough to change the course of the British and convince them to let Revere go.

    Here's the trivia. Most don't know this but there were at least 15 other riders in addition to Paul Revere running and warning of the marching British soldiers - What was the prevailing occupation of these men and why were they particularly suited for the task?

    Cool stuff John. Thanks for sharing it. Looks like a wonderful party. I'm sure you'll miss is at times, it was a big part of you for so long.

    Beth

    Congratulations John. You hung in there a long time. Nobody can ever call you a quitter.

    Now you can join the ranks of us perps and come out here for a visit.

    For fun we can get pulled over for speeding and time you and see how fast you can "show your hands"!. "Hands on the wheel!" "get out of the car!" "stay in the car!" "get down on the ground!" "stay where you are!" "stop resisting!" BANG BANG. OOPS, he was a retired cop!

    On second thought, come on out to visit, but I'd better drive. Lol.

    Congratulations again John!
