How to use SHURflo pump?

[mikehookipa]

Hi

I need to Shureflo pump (running 12VDC) to pump water from water tank to pressure washer. How do I power the Shureflo though? Can I use a cigarette lighter to power the pump? We have a Mercedes Sprinter. :buffing:

Thanks

I"ve installed literally 100's of these pumps. I would just get a spare 12v battery.

I wouldn't trust a 12 volt "cigarette lighter" type outlet to handle the amperage of that pump. Especially under load and with the "press in" fit of an adapter for such an outlet.

I bought a small 12v battry to power my shurflo.

Where to find find fittings say 1/2 to 3/4 from pump to pressure washer most (12volt) pump fittings are 1/2 or 3/8 need to convert to 3/4 and do anyone have part numbers and description for such fittings? example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh5GoaKUAKA

I bought some fittings on amazon. Not sure what sizes I needed, or part numbers. You can google/amazon search "1/2 to 3/4" fittings or similar til you find what you need.
