After a honest cost for running a diesel pressure washer,
If we can base it on standard 21ltr / 200bar or very close spec
. Working at full tilt for 7hr duration no downtime with waterflows etc.
I am
not
looking for what you think the saving is between petrol / diesel, purely running costs of a diesel spec machine
Thankyou

Mine is a 4cyl diesel and running flat out all day will drink about 15 - 18L of fuel. I get red diesel at the moment for about 80p per L but thats only because i buy small amounts at a time. If i bought 500L at a time i would pay 65p per liter.
If im using the hot box, i use double the diesel.

My briggs and stratton 14hp petrol engine burns £12 a day ( i do stop regular for cake and tea) at 250 bar 18 lpm …I don't have to store fuel. It's light and easily fits in the van..through conservatory doors and I don't have hoses trailing across pavements.
I am a "professional amateur" pressure washer.
I like diesel and 2 stroke engines…but sometimes small light weight powerful 4 bangers have there place.
Hope this helps.

You can put a propane conversion on the petrol ones to reduce your PPM to less than a litre of Algoclear in a storm drain.
Hope this helps
