Hi all,
I am glad to become a part to such an awesome library of information. I have been detailing cars for a couple years now and recently decided to increase my customer base and take on more jobs. What is going to set me apart from others in the area is the mobile part of my work. I have obtained a 250 gallon tank and was looking to pair it with my pressure washer for washing cars in parking lots while the customers work. Here are my questions.
Will this pump work for my usage?
http://www.amazon.com/SHURflo-Industrial-Pump-Model-2088-594-154/dp/B0001FAA5Y
I have a consumer pressure washer from lowes, it is a Honda motor capable of 3000 psi and 2.7 gpm

I will have a deep cycle battery to power this pump with alligator clips so I can power it on or off when needed.
Also, could someone point me in the right direction on setting this thing up. I'm not real sure how this thing will work. Will I run a fitting from outside the tank to this pumo, or how should I mount it and what else should I get to make sure the life of this consumer pressure washer will last as long as it can before replacing the pump with a CAT one.
Thanks in advanced,
Matt
