Not to mention all the sunroof visors and bug deflectors that would be blown off.

Pull the head. I'm guessing you'll find a seal issue and/or a washed out head. Obviously, inspect the plungers while you're at it. Also, make sure all plungers move, making sure that it hasn't thrown a rod.

What kind of equipment or car wash is this?

I never knew that...

Is your C-2000 an audit-pro?

Pump pressure set too high? Something downstream failing, causing the pump to deadhead momentarily?

You didn't say, but if you have 3/8" hoses to the gun, replace them with 1/4". 3/8 hose has over twice the volume of 1/4 and is harder for the customer to handle. I spent 50 years in the SS biz and always used 1/4. There is no down side. If you have a pressure drop, crank it up a little.

Is that what you meant to say?

I think a guy from Mark VII invented it back in the early ‘90s maybe, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it. I think his name was Steve Chase.

I think it means mineral seal oil.

Transferring the lid is not a good option. This is the flexible pull out spout on the round 5 gallon pail.

I want a valve to replace the screw on cap for the flexible spout on the 5 gallon buckets we are all very familiar with. All I can find on Amazon are ones that are permanently installed. Since it will be moved from bucket to bucket, I want something to easily transfer. I don't want to know how...

Congrats Earl. I hope you stick around the forum like I have. It never gets out of your blood. I've been retired 5 years now and had a car wash dream last night.

I can't help with recommending someone, but resurrecting a wash can vary wildly, because of one factor...freezing. If it has frozen, you can expect huge expenses in getting it operational. If it hasn't frozen, it can be as simple as firing things up and see what works and what doesn't. I'm sure...

My Mark VII pump stand from 1990 came with the 31DS pumps. I think it was just something they did for Mark VII.
