An apparatus (10) is provided for collecting runoff from a vehicle (12) as it is being washed which is arranged for use with a conventional mobile ramp structure (14) similar to those which are used by some military personnel when servicing vehicles in the field. The ramp structure (14) includes a pair of upwardly extending, parallel and spaced apart ramps (16). The apparatus (10) includes a trough (44) mounted between the ramps (16) and a plurality of canals (70) extending longitudinally with the ramps (16) for collecting runoff thereon and diverting the runoff into a settling tank (86). A solid particle separator (46) removes solid particles from the settling tank (86) while a pumping station (114) recycles the fluid in the settling tank (86) so that it may be redirected at a vehicle (12) supported on the ramps (16) by a high pressure sprayer arrangement (60, 64). |
