Often there are situations when the car is very dirty as a result of driving in a contaminated area, but there are no devices nearby to wash it well. For example, you went to the forest for mushrooms or berries, to the lake. Running into a pond with a bucket to cover the car while rubbing dirt with an old rag is not an option. For such purposes, you can make a small mini-wash from the most simple tools at hand. It will be very compact and easily fit in the trunk of any car, without eating too much space.
To understand how to make such a device, watch this video:
The necessary materials for the manufacture of mini-washing:
- foot pump;
- capacity;
- fitting;
- quick disconnect valve;
- cover;
- fungus from a tubeless wheel;
- hose;
- watering head;
- rubber gasket;
- glue;
- adapter sleeve;
- sealant.
To get started, we take a container prepared in advance. It can be a regular plastic canister with a volume of at least 10 liters. Ideally, you need to use a large capacity container made of thick plastic or metal.
A fungus from a tubeless wheel is built into the lid of the container, sealed with a rubber pad on the glue. The gasket can be omitted if the hole for the fungus is made very accurately, which allows it to hold tight and tight.
A hole is made at the bottom of the container, into which a fitting is attached using an adapter sleeve and silicone sealant.
The sprinkler head is equipped with a quick-release valve that allows you to connect a hose. Also, such a valve connects the hose to the container.
It is best to use a sprinkler head equipped with five operating modes: 3 rain and 2 simple streams. This will make its use more functional.
Principle of operation.
Using a foot pump, we pump air into the tank so that the pressure is not more than 0.1-0.2 atmospheres, this will be more than enough. This creates excess pressure inside the plastic canister, the air presses on the water in the tank. Now it will be enough to open the valve of the irrigation head so that the water flows out.Just do not overdo it with pressure so that your container does not burst.
With the help of such a home-made mini-sink, you can wash your car anywhere and anytime, without leaving dirty stains.
