Good info and advice, thanks. I like the idea of a heated tank. I was gong to hook up a cold washer directly to the hot water heater which is about 120F. Not super hot especially being sprayed under pressure but could make a difference. I can't imagine it would be difficult to build a propane heated tank (turkey fryer) just before the washer. Given the $400-$700 price for a good cold unit to the $2000+ for heated, making your own heated tank seems worthwhile especially since I will use the heat 4 times are year at the most.
I'm going to rent one at Home Depot tomorrow and see how it goes. Have a 76 C3 that is perfect to demonstrate if cold/hot water heater will/won't cut it. Lot of caked on oil and crud as well as something in the fender wells that doesn't seem natural and will require petroleum-based chemicals to remove.
