Can you get pressure wahers with an onboard tank?
Discussion
...No, not a T16, but a water tank, so you can operate it without access to a hosepipe.
Sure thy're around - I think I saw one in the 'random ad-get' section of one of the car mags recently, but can't find anything online.
Any ideas? Just for light-duty work cleaning off the car and my mountain bike...

I thought they went through vast quantities of water in very short time?
True, but I don't need massively high pressure, I just need something a bit more effective than tipping water out of buckets, like I do currently. It's a real pain in the arse because we live in a sort of flat above the garage and have no ground-level water supply. I have to wander up the stairs, fill up, then come back down. Granted, I'd still have to do that, but at least it would be a bit more effective afterwards.ViperDave said:
I just put the input hose in a bucket during the hose pipe ban and let if suck it through. Takes a bit of spluttering to get it going but with a short input hose it soon starts up and does use surprisingly little water.
ETA, That might not be such a bad idea. Of course the other option is to try and attach a hosepipe to one of our rather curiously-shaped kitchen taps and then run it out the window (from the first floor) down to the car. It still sounds like a lot of work though.Edited by JoePublic on Thursday 15th October 12:27
Dirtworker, and there are some clones of it around too. Takes 12v supply and a few gallons of water - designed for mountain bikers to take with them (fill it up at home) so you can hose the bikes off before putting them back in the car. Don't expect normal pressure-washer power though.

Gotta love that name!
Looks like the sort of thing I'm after. Rather liked the Norco full susser in the video too.
I reckon I use about 14 litres in the course of washing the car, so that would be fine I reckon. Thanks for the link.
