[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 7241171, member: 150618"] Of course you can do what you want with a petrol water pump. I agree, you want to aim for a higher pressure, 64PSI max for that honda is close enough, but I wouldn't go lower. Remember, the load on the pump goes down as the volume goes down, that is the pressure goes up at a set RPM, so you won't overload a pump by putting a smaller hose and nozzle on it. You don't want to lose too much pressure to the hose, so the hose has to be sized to the output you want at the nozzle, not the pump. Higher pressure will give you more work for your limited water volume, more volume will clean faster though. balance those right and you'll be happy with it. [/QUOTE]
