Northern Tools have a decent collection of tanks. Size depends on personal preferance and how you will utilize it. I personally use a 100 gallon tank on a Chevy S10 long bed pick up.:welcome to Detail City.

Just getting started in Raleigh, NC... still shopping for tanks. Looks like most mobile detail systems use 100 gallon, had a sales person try to sell a 200 gallon tank though. Is 100 gallon enough? How many cars can you do with 100 gallon?
hey nice to hear from someone from Raleigh, I am from Charlotte. If you need something "portable" go with 100 gallon 1 gallon is what 8 pounds, so 800 for 100 gallon tank. I use 5X8 cargo trailer which can hold 2000 pounds and it is definately noticeable when the tank is full. Also if you have pressure washer read how many gpm on it mine is 2.5 (100/2.5= 40 minute of constant water supply).

Chem-Tainer - look for "Transport Tanks"

I like the dr_detail idea, but the only thing is the cost of shipping is to much.
