    I need advice.
    Im trying to buy pressure washer either kranzle or gas pressure washer
    I already set up 90g water tank in my van
    should I go for electric or gas?
    If I go with kranzle do I need water pump to pull water from tank?
    it said it will pull water from pond, tank etc...
    Im doing mobile so im not trying to take out pressure washer from my van.

    I would go for electric myself, less fumes and noise when compared to the gas. Only real benefit (IMO) of gas is that you don't need electricity.

    ^^^ I agree with that. Plus electric is easier to maintain. The only annoying part is that you can only move the unit as far as the the power cord.

    Depends on your setup and the pressure washer (pw) you use. Find out what the water supply needs to be for the pw you are looking for and then test the rate of water supply from your water tank and see if it matches the need of the pw. I've had success with my 100 gallon tank and AR610 without the use of a water pump.

    Here are some pointers:
    1. Make sure the inlet of your pw is BELOW the outlet your water tank
    2. Make sure the supply hose to the pressure washer is not smaller than the opening of the pw (don't use a small hose from the tank to the pw)
    3. Make sure the cap on the tank is removed

    Hope this helps a little.

    The smaller Kränzles here in europe can draw from tanks without a problem, and they don't consume much power, so they'll be able to run from a genny.

    I own a Kranzle 1120T and it will pull water from a tank just fine. Much quieter than gas, and just enough power not to do damage.

    You will have no problem with the Kranzle pulling water from your tank. This is how I use it when I am mobile and works like a charm. I used to have a gas power pressure washer and switched to electric for many reasons but mainly because of the size and noise. Kranzle was the only pressure washer with the self priming pump that I could find and that's also why it is more money than the others, another plus is the extra hose length. All you will need is the standard garden hose connector. It's the same as any other pressure washer Iv'e used.

    No I don't have a picture, but next chance I get I'll take one. As for the hook-up, all you need is a garden hose to your tank setup just like the hose connected to a house hose bib. It's pretty simple, the same hose I would have for the tank I would use for a house hook-up if I have access to water bib.
