How do I attach a water tank to a pressure washer? For a mobile car wash

Answer
depends if you have an induction motor on the washer, simple if it is, just connect the hose to the washer and drop the other end of the hose in the tank of water

Can I use the "engine cleaner" setting at the car wash to wash my engine bay safely?

Nick

I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer, and I really want to take it to a car wash and use the pressure washer to clean out my engine bay. Other than not spraying the filter, is there any reason NOT to do it? I've heard some people say their car wouldn't start afterwards, some people say its okay but to leave the car running... Which one is it?! Any help would be awesome.

Answer
Usually yes. Although when you use the pressure washer you should avoid or at least be light on the electrical connections. The connections are sealed however there is always the chance that a seal could be bad or not tight. It's also not a bad idea to avoid the altenator. Other than that there is absolutely no problems with washing your engine and bay with a pressure washer. As far as leaving the engine running it shouldnt matter and could actually be worse since it keeps your headers hotter. This could potentially but unlikely cause your headers to crack.
