What do i need to look for when buying a pressure washer to make sure it will pull from the tank in my trailer? Do i need certain HP or an addition pump? Thanks!
 
There are other means, but I would go with a pressure washer. There are going to be times that you need the extra pressure to remove things that a small pump will not. When I changed to a pressue washer it made things so much easier. I don't know if you seen my post on your other thread or not, but do a search and you will see where Truedetailer and TexasB done some threads that include photo's and that will give you the info you are looking for.If set up properly the pressure washer will produce the water that you need from the tank. Good luck
 
To "draw" water from the tank using gravity as your feed method, you will need to have a self priming pump. Most piston/plunger style pumps will do this without any problems. Hope this helps
 
I'm looking to buy one w/ a Honda engine, and a CAT pump. I believe it's self priming, but I'm not sure. I guess I could ask the guys at Home Depot. I want to get it from a Big Box store w/ the extended warranty.
