Couple days worth of little details. Hooking up my gravity fed auxiliary gas tank to my Honda GX 390. #PowerWashing #SoftWashing #RoofWashing #OneManOneTruck #Hustle
I’m so glad I don’t have to transfer SH. My pool store fills my tank direct from their 14000 gal holding tank behind the store. I love your set up. I modified my setup after yours last year. Your channel has been my favorite and invaluable to Me. Thanks Joe for all you do on your channel!
Joe, great job. That is the one thing I don't like about my GX390 is fueling it up often. I would recommend maybe putting a rubber hose around the fuel line where it is rubbing on the skid (9:03). It could help prevent a leak caused by the vibration. Always great content brother!
It has worked out great for me this season. I hope to improve upon it a little bit over the winter for next season. Plumb it a little better maybe get a tank with a gauge
@@powerfulimprovements I'll let you know... The tube to the carb on my unit isn't the easiest to get to.. Would rather avoid taking the entire thing apart 5o get access.
Looking good Joe. Having 50-65 degree weather in White Bear Lake, MN so know it's possible to start already. Gets below freezing at night frequently so have to beware of the pump. Keep sling'n!
Love your videos buddy. Be very careful with that plastic tank a lot of states have strict policies on business vehicles and plastic gas cans. Something you might want to check into. Keep up the hustle you inspire a lot of guys!!
if you want your downstream to last long get a small bucket and every time you are done using it put it in for a day and all you quick connects and the down stream will work every time you go use it . love the videos keep it up
joe as usual, you don't disappoint on videos!! I just got the Jason Geiman notification for tonight...His teaser looks like your joining....If so I'm excited and look forward to tuning in.
You got one I can see where it is mounted to the unit ? I have a tiller in which I need to pull a MacGyver onto the tiller itself , bit thanks , because I will be doing this method on my tiller some how 🤔
Great video brother. I have a honda pressure washer but small tank and it only last about an hour or so.It sucks when your on a roof cleaning coming down so many time. any ideas on mounting i would appreciate it and what size fuel line.thanks again.
Thanks for posting this. Did you end up having any issue with the tank or engine after adding the aux tank? I have a gx200 water pump that I want to add an aux tank.
The aluminum that the skid is made out of...is that regular square tubing? I’m a long ways away (Louisiana) so I may have to build my own. How much does a full skid cost?
How do you like those Husqvarna saws? I had a rebuilt Poulan that i paid 99 bucks for about 30 years ago and it just recently packed it in, need to get a new one. Supposed to get to almost 70 on Long Island this week, hopefully we can both sling some water!
I’m having the hardest time finding the plug valve you installed into the gas tank. What would it be called or what can I google search to find it??? Thanks for the video!
This is a nice project, now I have a question. Could this be done to incorporate a stock gas tank? (I.E. 5-20 gallon stowed in truck with line feeding the stock gas tank through the cars body?)
Joe, I recently started having trouble with my machine running off the auxiliary tank with the fuel petcock and the inline filter. The machine would run sometimes, other times not. Occasionally it would run for an hour or so then quit. I figured out that the integrated filter on the petcock was just too restrictive, even though it was clean when I checked it. I ordered a couple more and cut off the filter. I still have my inkine filter in place. Haven't had any issues since.
When the sun hits it and Builds pressure it could blow the Petcock out Put some type of shade over top of it would definitely help. I can't bleave it didn't do it the first day it the sun I never put gas cans in Direct sunlight !!!!!
I never do this so don’t get used to it www.amazon.com/192980GS-208961-462-03-S-13116/dp/B07JL794S4/ref=asc_df_B07JL794S4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309787044604&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7678835990901743733&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003270&hvtargid=pla-665115830077&psc=1
It would have been nice to see you force that screen into the grommet, very difficult without bending it or breaking it, you seem to have cut that part of the video out.
I’ve see where you can also drill a hole in the top of the can and insert a tire valve stem with the core removed for a vent. So that way at least you can screw the cap on and then have zero chance for spillage. Cool set up though. Givin me ideas 😂
I put the tire stem valves in all my 5 gallon gas cans so they pour better due to venting. Install the cap no leaks. I use the metal truck tire stem that has the rubber washers and nuts. The chrome ones. Works great
I got confused as hell…..I thought I was gonna watch a video on how this gravity fed tank was gonna feed his motor, then out of nowhere we’re talking about pool shock & cutting wood with a chainsaw. 🤷🏻♂️

Very happy you’ve found some value in it! ✌🏼❤️
Ooh new logo intro! Looking better and better. That mixer is going to be wicked!
The rig is coming together nicely. Big Dave’s house roof looks great since being washed in December. 👍
Yeah it really does
Good stuff Joe, the setup looks awesome
Thank you
yeah love it bro. I made a similar gravity fed bottle to replace my rusty fuel tank in my little two stroke scooter. Works awesome
Getting that rig put together pretty good man. Congrats!
Thank you

Great idea Herb! Prototype
That gives me a good idea to try on my truck so I can get it home. Thank you for the great idea.
You bet!
Nice engineering. Seems like ya got It covered 👍
That's a pretty simple and cheap way to go, great job. Keep it simple
It has worked out great for me this season. I hope to improve upon it a little bit over the winter for next season. Plumb it a little better maybe get a tank with a gauge
Really appreciate the video. I'm doing the same modification to a water pump that I need to run overnight.
Simple right?

Right on!
Love your videos buddy. Be very careful with that plastic tank a lot of states have strict policies on business vehicles and plastic gas cans. Something you might want to check into. Keep up the hustle you inspire a lot of guys!!
Hadn’t even considered that. Thank you
So glad I don’t have to use SH or any of the soft wash bs. I’m happy with my dual wand setup with the pressure washer.
Truck looks super jo jo....i think im jealous 😄
Awesome! Like the intro graphics!
✌🏼❤️
Joe, thanks for posting this. I was looking for a solution and this looks like a good one. Mine just arrived in the mail from Amazon.
Awesome
Ride the pace any chance you have the Amazon linked that part?

@@ytgre7767 and working great so far.
About time to spray water joe.look forward to your videos. I like gas tank set up..
Thank you

Right on. Last year I was just throwing it in my buffer tank. But can’t reach all the way back there this year so small bucket would be a great idea
@@powerfulimprovements yeah it work great just don't leave it in there for more then 3 day or it will rust 1 day is all you need
Sweet Big Joe ! Your a one arm bandit !
😂✌🏼❤️
Cool addition Joe!
✌🏼❤️
Great video Joe
✌🏼❤️

I can definitely use this same idea for other things that are gas powered that don't have a fuel tank or to add a second tank.
Awesome set up Joe! Thanks for bringing us along.
✌🏼❤️
Nice setup Joe. Time to make some money
Real men of genius! Works on log splitters to!!
😂😂😂💥💥💥
Fantastic!!
1 year later: how did this hold up? Any leaks?
Worked great all year
Slowly but surely 💪🏼
Very cool idea
✌🏼❤️
You did a nice job on TH-cam tonight
Thank you
Good video, very informative. I appreciate the Tractor Supply input for the Petcock valve/gas can adapter information as well. Thank you!
✌🏼❤️
Great video brother. I have a honda pressure washer but small tank and it only last about an hour or so.It sucks when your on a roof cleaning coming down so many time. any ideas on mounting i would appreciate it and what size fuel line.thanks again.
1/4 line and just be sure it’s higher than the carburetor
What brand spigot and where did you get it.....
First video that popped up! This was easy to follow and a awesome idea!🤘
Excellent
Thanks for posting this. Did you end up having any issue with the tank or engine after adding the aux tank? I have a gx200 water pump that I want to add an aux tank.
None. Been cranking all season
The aluminum that the skid is made out of...is that regular square tubing? I’m a long ways away (Louisiana) so I may have to build my own. How much does a full skid cost?
Skid is like 1500$. Must pick up in person. 2x5” extruded aluminum
How do you like those Husqvarna saws? I had a rebuilt Poulan that i paid 99 bucks for about 30 years ago and it just recently packed it in, need to get a new one. Supposed to get to almost 70 on Long Island this week, hopefully we can both sling some water!
I love my Huskies. The smaller one is 25 years old. Bought the big one last year. Dying for this weather break

I don’t see why not
Just use a Y fule splitter. That why you can connect the fuel line for both tanks and have both of them connect to the carburetor. That's what I did.
Hey joe , I’ve always placed my plastic gas jugs on ground wen filling. Something about static related fires ?
🤷🏼♂️🔥

I drilled a very small hole under the handle. Ran all season no issues. This is last year video
Hi Joe,
Where can I find that 3 way selector valve? Also what size was the new fuel hose line and the 3 barb on the selector valve?
Michael C - (WA)
I found mine at local tractor store
@@powerfulimprovements
Do you remember the size of barb on the selector (5/16", 1/4" or 3/8")
@@michaelc7283 1/4 I believe
@@powerfulimprovements
Sounds good
Thanks
Gettem Joe
where did you get the valve for the auxillary tank and the 3 way?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why drill a hole in the handle when you can Crack the fuel cap a little?
Yeah. That’s what we’ve been doing
Joe i have been thinking about doing something like this with my gas tank. Can you let me know how it works Mr Joe
Sure thing
@@powerfulimprovements thank you Joe looking forward to hearing back from you good luck with everything
Please tell me u rinsed the tank out after drinking the holes
Blew it out with air compressor
Went to my local TS can't find that first valve do you have a # for it
I never do this so don’t get used to it www.amazon.com/192980GS-208961-462-03-S-13116/dp/B07JL794S4/ref=asc_df_B07JL794S4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309787044604&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7678835990901743733&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003270&hvtargid=pla-665115830077&psc=1
What size was your drill bit
Cmon man
Everything is brand new do you even do any work?
We did so much work we bought new everything
You might want to get a head strap camera holder. Makes making videos easier
Get a 5 gallon water tank big blue or white ones and do the same thing to it.
O shit big Dave is on this vid!!!!!! Please don’t let big Dave play with that chain saw!!!!! Hes not the sharpest tool in the shed!!!!
😂✌🏼❤️
Doesn’t that flood the carburetor?
No sir. No difference from a regular
That's exactly what I have on my bed.
Works great
Make a atv one next
It would have been nice to see you force that screen into the grommet, very difficult without bending it or breaking it, you seem to have cut that part of the video out.
Very clearly you understand needing two hands to actually make that fit. Hence no video
How long the SH will last?
I’ll use that within 2 weeks or less
Thanks 🙏🏻
God damn that chainsaw is dull 😂
That’s because we do so much work
I’ve see where you can also drill a hole in the top of the can and insert a tire valve stem with the core removed for a vent. So that way at least you can screw the cap on and then have zero chance for spillage. Cool set up though. Givin me ideas 😂
