What's the best way to hook up a mobile pressure washer to a buffer tank

I have a 275 gal tank. It starts as a 2 inch dump. Then splits 1 1/4 goes right with a ball valve so I can fill buckets or dump tank. The left goes from 2 inch to 1 1/4. To 1 inch filter then short hose. The only bend is the 90 tee off dump but it has a ball valve on the right to block water from going that way. I removed the factory filter off inlet and routed my bypass to the tank. This drastically reduced the turbulence and poor water volume at inlet. Here are some pics. I may still change out my inlet and put a 1 inch barb fitting there so I can run 1in hose instead of 3/4. But it’s running really well at this point so I’m gonna let it ride. It just takes some trial and error and figuring out what works best. As an added precaution I park where the nose of my trailer always tips down a little bit.
