Can I use a pressure washer with gravity fed water from a barrel?

Ill try it this weekend and see what happens. I think I will replace the .5" tap on the barrel with a 1" tap to increase the flow rate first.

i have ever tried once in my way, but i failed.
look forward to your feedback.

cant you just take your tractor to a spot that is within reach of a outside faucet? Even if you have to hook up 1 or 2 hundred feet of hose it would be easier...just my opinion....good luck

Shouldn't be too hard to plumb the barrel so you could some air pressure to it. Same difference as having a pump.

This is bad advice. Barrels have been know to blow up with as little as 5 psi pressure with considerable damage being done. You are quite literally playing with your life if you pressure up any container that was not designed for it.

generally says to provide a water supply with at least 20 PSI.
