Water Tank - 100 Gallon

• Description

  The Detail King 100 Gallon Water Tank is a UV-stabilized poly water tank built for mobile auto detailers running pick-up, van, or trailer rigs. It is the most popular tank size in the mobile detailing world because it carries a full route day’s supply without forcing a mid-day refill stop.

  Highlight specs:

  • 100 gallons when full
  • UV-stabilized linear polyethylene
  • 3/4” NPT molded outlets (customizable)
  • FDA & NSF approved (resin compliance FDA 21 CFR 177.1520)
  • Molded tie-down slots on both sides
  • 38.5” L × 26.5” W × 25” H footprint

  What “capacity-to-vehicle math” means for mobile detailers: a full exterior wash uses 10 to 15 gallons per vehicle (more on trucks, less on sedans), which puts a 100-gallon tank at 8 to 10 vehicles per fill for a single-operator route. A 60-gallon tank forces a refill stop after 4 to 6 vehicles, costing you the equivalent of one billable job per day; a 330-gallon tank carries fleet-day volume but is too heavy for most half-ton trucks. The 100-gallon is the working-day sweet spot: enough water for mobile detailing routes, country-club service runs, fleet wash contracts, and dealership accounts, without overloading the suspension. UV-stabilized poly lets you leave the tank full overnight in a truck bed without algae or mold concerns. For half-ton routes that need extra clearance, see the 60 Gallon Low Profile Water Tank. A 100-gallon fill covers 8 to 10 full exterior washes (wheels, wheel wells, and bed liners included); the average mobile detailer runs 2 to 6 full details daily. Molded tie-down slots on both sides keep the tank secure in transit.

  Who this is for

  • Mobile detailers running a full-day route and need to wash 8-10 vehicles between refills
  • Detail shop owners adding a water-on-wheels service for fleet accounts or country clubs
  • Trailer-rig detailers upgrading from a 60-gallon tank that’s forcing mid-day stops

  Sizing guidance

  • 60 gallon is right for part-time detailers doing 3-4 vehicles a day
  • 100 gallon is the sweet spot for full-time mobile pros
  • 150-200 gallon is worth the upgrade if you routinely wash trucks, SUVs, or run a two-operator rig
  • 330 gallon is for fleet-contract work or detail rigs that include steam and extraction

  Water usage planning

  A typical full exterior wash uses 10 to 15 gallons per vehicle. Factors that push you to the upper end: wheel cleaning, engine bay rinsing, two-bucket wash method, or hard-water runoff requiring extended rinse.

  • Sedans / small SUVs: ~10-12 gallons per vehicle → 8-10 vehicles per 100-gallon tank
  • Full-size trucks / SUVs: ~12-15 gallons per vehicle → 6-8 vehicles per 100-gallon tank
  • Adding interior extraction: add 2-4 gallons of additional rinse water

  If you’re also running a heated carpet extractor off the same tank, subtract the water used for interior details from your wash count.
