Gents,
My gas pressure washer that I use at the track has taken a dump on me. After 15 or so years it is time for a new one. It was 2200 psi @ 1.8 GPM. It worked fine at the track with the exception it would not work while being gravity fed. I had to haul around a 12V on demand pump to provide positive pressure.
I see at the national pits (Muddy Creek & Crawfordsville) plenty of "privateers" using pressure washers fed directly out of a tank. Mine would be in the back of a pickup. At the time I did not investigate further into the brands / models that I seen used this way.
I prefer high pressure & low GPM.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

That's what I did on a 5 gallon water jug for showering. Works great. My pressure washer works great gravity fed (Honda 2600 psi/2.3GPM) as well.

Also I always have water running through the hose when I connect it to the power washer and that keeps it from getting air pockets as well.
