    I wonder how many gallons that bucket holds?

    Maybe you can wash your shop the same way?
    If you can read this you assembled wrong.

            When the boss get the water bill he is going to be scratching his head. That was enough water to fill a small swimming pool. No wonder it totaled the car.

              "Washes the car inside & out in one quick & easy step"

              And to think car manufacturers charge a $2,000 to $10,000 premium when they make a convertible out of an existing car design. Do it yourself and save!

                Did a little searching to find out that model Liebherr bucket holds 42 cubic meters (1483 cuft or 55 cu yards). Using an online calculator that's about 11,250 gallons

                    But I guess if it has a 55 cubic yard capacity, at about 1 ton/yard you are looking at 55 tons which is north of 100k lbs. That just seems insane.
