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.

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.
