T-80R The Tank™ Truckmount Recovery Tank

[renegade_cowboy]

I am buying a new waste tank and had my eye on this model right here for $599. Is there any feedback... pro's/con's... performance issues?

I have the standard HM waste tank and wondering if this will allow me to hook up my blower in the same manner as it is now?

Your Price: $107,900.00 :shock:


tell you what I'll do, Brent .
I'll knock 20% off that price , deliver and install it for you for frEE..cause you're a friend !gotcha!


donno about your tank swap, but figure it to be pretty unlikely it will be a direct drop-in swap.
You might get lucky , but I'd count on some mods to be necessary ...either minor or major


side note;
does that tank remind anyone else of the Michelin tire man in triplicate


..L.T.A.

I bought one when they first came out, to replace the broke ass tank i had on my Frankenstein machine....

and i would do it again in a heart beat....but i would want to, and tie them together...anyway...


to answer your question...yes you have to drill your own hole and put in a barb for what ever size you have coming from the blower...ill track down my pics...i think i have some left..

The one bad part....it didnt appear to have much room for a blower filter in the tank....now it could have been the one i was looking at was to big...but keep that in mind...

the catch basket in it is HUGE...which was nice...though made it a bit tough to put a pantyhose in for a quick clean out...

for the most part they were nice

been using one for about a year now. love the tank. I do have issues with the lid gasket failing, been through 3 of them.

That tank from Mytee looks like three robots standing in line at the port-o-lets!

I can deal with porting it to my blower, but does it come with a blower filter? Is the drain valve already there are does that need to be cut out too?

Pics?

Thanks

I reinstalled my hose reel and thought it would be nice if someone made a sliding hose reel.. Poof Hot heat Exchange does.. NICE..

The Drain valve port is threaded and ready for installation.

We can drill the tank for blower inlet, if you know how you are mounting the tank.

We also prepare our tanks to eliminate the gasket short life.

We have a photo showing the inlet basket:

I think it is a well designed recovery tank.

Thanks Larry,

Does it come with the blower filter and float switch?

Thats a cool mod you did for the vac ports.. how long you own one and any downside to them? You build your own machine?

 

[floorguy]

it was a bastardized avenger 210....

i had it for about 6 mths before i bought out this other biz, and acquired his everest...

like i said...the basket is a bit big to be able to just throw in a knee high for ease of cleaning....

also the long blower filter didnt fit....now i think if i had tweaked where i mounted the blower port it may have worked...maybe Larry has figured it out...and thats a damn good price to...

I really liked it....and i would do it again in a heart beat...but me personally would want 2...but thats me...

i really want to know if Les can mount my everest parts on 1 of his tanks though...that would be AWESOME...

I have that top part still to, if you want it...

Why don't people put a mandrel bend coming out of the tanks? I see that on every recovery tank. Less resistance....

Thanks Larry,

It only comes with the filter basket . . . (no float switch).

That has worked well in our installations.

This install used the four 1/2" bolts in the 1/4" steel supports to mount the power component plate:
