BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] The present invention relates to water dispensing systems, and more particularly, to a vehicle-mounted water dispensing system for permanent installation and full integration into a vehicle for the purposes of washing and fire extinguishing by delivering water expelled under high-pressure. [0006] 2. Description of Related Art [0007] Pressurized water dispensing systems are relatively common. Attempts have been made to minimize the weight of these systems and make them portable. Accordingly, the prior art reveals a number of smaller portable pressure washing systems known to incorporate lighter motors, thereby providing a significantly less powerful stream of water than may often be desired for a given purpose. One application and desired use for a pressurized water dispensing system is for washing vehicles such as trucks and motor homes that require frequent cleaning of dirt and insects. These devices remain heavy, however, particularly when filled with water and fully fueled. [0008] Because of the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art in this field, there is a need for a pressurized water dispensing system for use with vehicles such as trucks, which can be permanently mounted and incorporated within such vehicles eliminating the burdensome transportation, unpacking, and setting up required by the portable systems of prior art. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The present invention overcomes the limitations and disadvantages in the art by providing a water dispensing system adapted for fully integrated installation within a vehicle. The system includes a water storage tank, a pump having an inlet in fluid communication with the water storage tank, a water hose having an inlet in fluid communication with the pump outlet, and a manually actuated flow control nozzle in fluid communication with the hose outlet. In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle fuel tank is partitioned so as to provide dual compartments capable of holding both fuel for the vehicle, and water for use with the system. The pump is preferably electrically connected to the vehicles electric power system. In an alternate embodiment, a compressed gas functions as the pumping source thereby eliminating the need for an electric pump. It has been found that using a partitioned tank to hold both water and fuel results in heating the water thereby providing the user with a source of warm water for use in any of a wide variety of purposes, such as washing the vehicle, bathing, and fire extinguishing. [0010] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved portable water dispensing system. [0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a water dispensing system adapted for full integration within a vehicle. [0012] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle mounted water dispensing system wherein water is contained within a partitioned fuel tank. [0013] In accordance with these and other objects, which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with particular reference to the accompanying drawings.
