)
(Preview)
There is a very fine line when operating Dual Delavans I tried multiple combinations of hose size, length, nozzles, guns and figured out the best combination for running one or two pumps together in tandem.

Pulling from two tanks

I run the Delavan 5850 5.3 gpm pump with a 55 gal tank. I also have a 225 gal water tank on my trailer.

5850 for now
(Preview)
I have read all the posts here concerning the 5850 and the fatboy. They have both at the local Rural King. 5850 is $129, fatboy is $229. So, I believe for now I will get the 5850 because: 1. $100 cheaper and finances are tight starting out 2. I am only going to be running one hose for now. 3. Until I get s...
