SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW I DO IT ?

[Jon-scwindows]

explain what? if your looking to use your car battery to power the pump, either make up a basic circuit with a switch, or pump controller, or wire it up with a cig socket plug.

i assume you want to charge your leisurebattery from the van battery if so go to a local trailer suplier and buy a split charge relay kit with fitting instructions , fitted 1 to my vivaro and no need to charge up any more regards alan

cig lighter thing sounds good.

Want to move from just backpack set up to tank and 95 psi pump.

I want to run the pump from my astra vehicle battery - how do I set it up ? do I just run the pump wire to eco-flow to the cig lighter thing and away it goes?

thinking 175ltr tank (+ 4 x 25ltr barrels I already have) flojet 95psi, eco flow, 100m minibore = sorted.

275ltr gives me 3ish hours of pumping right ?

Its a bad idea to use your main vehicle battery for WFP, as you put a lot of strain on it and may not be able to start the engine after you've finished the job! A 2nd battery (lots of ppl say a leisure battery, but a car battery will work too, even if it won't last as long) and a split charge relay is the way to go.
Its not a big expense, but could save you a lot of hassle!

aye can see what you mean.

I did have a car battery to use from my knackered rover vi, but it went with the car when I sold it!

leisure battery from local shop is bout £55 - not bad for a whole load of saved hassle!

You can get split charge relays off ebay for £12 or so,.. or just by a standard 12 auto relay from maplins for even less,..
