Hi, I have a draper petrol pressure washer sat in my garage barely used which I would sell. Its an ex demo model, starts and runs great, i'm told it will pick up from a water tank or  running water, I've only used it from a tap. has a few marks and scrapes and is missing one rubber foot (I always put a cloth under it to stop any noise) if you are interested I can send you full spec on it

Cheers

Ian

In hindsight, in experience or lack of knowledge tells you that u can do pressure washing with a small machine, and in theory you can, but the difference in performance is a lot and the difference in price in not much to push up from 13-16 up to 21 lpm.

How much would you be prepared to pay for a machine giving 13 lpm.

I wouldn't want to pay more than £500 personally
Now don't get me wrong am not telling u wots wot as I have not used a 13 lpm before.
But I do know that if you have a bar with 2 jets on the very most u will get out of each jet is 6.5 lpm, which is what I can pee after drinking tea all day 😄😄

Used honda gx390 21 lpm - about a grand give it take 50p,
Brand new with warranty gx390 21 lpm - about £1500 give it take 50p

We all want to save as much as pos but for the sake of a third of the price u mays well buy new.

Warranty = ££££ saved.

IMO

Looking to hire or buy, not looking to do this on a full time basis so can be ugly (exterior condition wise) but be capable of doing the job. Typical job would be to jet wash outside a shop after a re fit but also get the odd block paving job
