Do-it-yourself mini car wash

In today's world, a large number of people have personal use. auto. But given the number of cars on the road, not every one of their owners has in use garage where you can store useful things for your iron horse. It is far from a secret that a car requires personal care; it is especially pleasant to drive a clean car. To wash the machine, it is not necessary to constantly stand in line for the washing, or to buy a washing machine. In order to save money and time, you can make a mini-wash do it yourself, it fits in the trunk, and you can use it anywhere.

Materials and tools:
- The plastic canister having two mouths
- Hose from the washing machine 2 m long
- Watering gun on a hose
- Quick-release fitting
- Tubeless valve for tires
- Rubber gasket
- Coupling
- Screwdriver and drill
- Rubber glue or sealant
- Car compressor


Step one. Mounting the air inlet.
After collecting all the materials and preparing the tools, you can get to work. First of all, the author removes the lid from one neck (responsible for draining). Picking up a drill with a thick drill, he makes a hole in the center of the lid.

Note: when the sink is ready, when using the canister, you will need to put it on its side, with the hole for the bay down (so that the water comes out under pressure). Therefore, the cover of this outlet is left to interface with the hose.




Further, a sealant is used, it is smeared with a valve flange for the wheels (it is also a spool).


The valve for the wheels is pressed into the hole of the drilled cover. Now let the sealant dry.


After the sealant has hardened, the author puts the cover in its place (drain hole).


Step Two Mounting the water outlet.
In this step, it's time to prepare the second cover. It is removed, and a drill is again taken in hands, only the pen drill is now used. A hole is made in the cover in size corresponding to the diameter of the coupling.




A connector is inserted into the hole prepared in the cover.


For better fixing on the cover, the joint of the coupling, as in the previous step, is watered with silicone sealant, after which this cover also needs to be dried.


Next, it's time to prepare the hose, a nut with a fastener is cut off from the bent end.


Fastening is no longer needed, only a nut is needed, the reverse side of the coupling is attached to it. The connection is also secured with sealant.






Having dried all the connections, you can put the cover back in place.


Step Three Watering gun connections to hose.
The author came up with the idea to use the hose precisely from the washing machine for a reason, such a hose has the ability to withstand high water pressure. The cut-off part of the hose fits into the fitting nut.


The hose cut is mounted in the quick-release fitting using a special mount.


The main fitting and its nut are twisted.


Now you can connect the fitting with a watering gun on the bar.




The fourth step. Hose connection with canister.
In order to prevent air from escaping during the supply of water under pressure in the future, the author inserted a rubber gasket of the required size into the second nut of the hose.


The nut is screwed onto a quick-release fitting.


On this assembly homemade mini-sink is ready!


Step Five Wash test at work.
Water is poured into the canister.


Now you need to get the car compressor and connect it to the valve, the author pumps air into the canister. The author uploads about one atmosphere, if you overdo it, then the canister can swell, or even burst.


It remains to press the start button on the watering gun and start washing the car.


The use of such a sink has many advantages, it does not need a lot of water, and it does not take up much space. She can wash not only a car, but also any thing that is not possible to wash at home. You can also take it with you to the cottage for washing windows or, for example, a boat. The main thing is that such a do-it-yourself wash is done.

ahah, well, for our man: wink:

I’ll look at Sedna ... maybe I mixed it up
No, you messed up even)))))). Thirty-liter? And on the label was the inscription: "Suitable for use only weightlifters, or bodybuilders" ???? )))))))))): wassat:
Not everyone can carry a couple of hours (if the potato field is processed) 35 kg on his back, and even take off and wear many times ....
Of those that I saw, the Soviet were the largest - 12 were ...
and the sprayer, which poison the Colorado beetles, is not suitable for this case?)) I’m like 30 liters, it works on the principle of pumping air, like a compressor. Pump up and he sprinkles. Without a spray, the jet is quite powerful.
Souvenir!)))) Purely play around! ..... How many times must it be filled in order to wash the car?)))))
I speak not unfoundedly - did such ten years ago. Only I have a canister of 30 liters, flooded 20 water, the rest is air. Otherwise, one atmosphere is not enough to squeeze out half the water. And even with such a ratio, it finally barely flowed. (And here the canister is much smaller). And I inserted both fittings into the lid - one for the hose and one air - long brass from the truck. Then he improved it - he took the canister into the reinforcement cage (it also fixed the lid) and pumped it up to four atmospheres (I couldn’t pump the car compressor anymore). Then it was already normal to wash the whole machine ....
Well, then "environmental persecution" became tougher - in any place, except for a yard with a well-equipped water drain, you can wash it for 400 dollars so ...)))) So I bought Karcher and I’m not worried .... He’s better to love, since you don’t have to carry with you anyway ...
And I use the canister as a "camping shower" when we leave with tents.
