I finally got to properly set up my 35 gallon tank which gravity feeds water to my pressure washer. Now I can finally roll up to any spot and wash a car with my own water!

Norwesco 35 Gallon horizontal leg tank was purchased from Tractor Supply Co and brass fittings were from Lowes. I got the metal tank support bands for the Norwesco tank from ntotank.com and made a DIY frame using 2x4's.

I like how everything fits so well! Great use of space and great use of the Maverick. It's the perfect vehicle.

Awesome! Are you able to roll the tonneau cover over the tank?

Unfortunately no, at least not all the way. The tank sticks up about 2" above the height of the tonneau cover. I can sort of roll it over it but the last few inches of the cover don't reach the end so I can't close it all the way. A solution I found that if I do end up needing to cover it from rain at least, I can connect the end of the cover with some bungee cords to the bottom tie downs right at the tailgate opening which holds it down pretty well.

Nice setup! I was wondering if mobile detailers would buy this truck. Question, how many cars are you able to wash with a 35 gallon tank?

I average out to two full washes including deep wheel cleaning. I plan to get a IK sprayer foam pro 12 instead of my foam cannon to cut down on some water usage. Usually bigger trucks such as f250's take up a bit more water though.

Kranzle 1622ts is my next purchase, once I get that that in it will actually be complete the way I planned. So far this little craftsman's pump has help up decently for being like $80 lol.
