Clean Your Machine-off grid?

PowerTracManiac · Jul 26, 2021

PT has been running well and backfilling on my project is almost done.
Oil cooler and engine compartment REALLY needed cleaning from all the dirt moving.
I dont have power or running water on site yet, so I picked up this battery powered pressure washer and it has the perfect PSI to clean the engine bay and the oil cooler fins. Oil cleaner fins were really gummed up with fine dirt. My bad and I won't let that happen again now that I see how easy it was to do with this battery powered pressure washer.
1-5 gallon bucket of water and simple green mix did the oil cooler completely and about 3/4 of the engine and inside back tub area as the pressure washer just sips the water from a 5 gallon bucket.

Great idea!! Now I’ll need to buy another cordless tool.

Way cool. Does DeWalt make one?

I believe they do. About $150.

I considered the dewalt version a while back but ruled it out as a useful tool for me.

Instead I bought a extension hose for my gas pressure washer. I don't have the link handy but I bought it from Home Depot for less than $35 and it came with the coupler adapter.

Having 40 to 50 feet of hose makes a nice improvement to pressure washing.
