Mobile pressure wash companies use a similar setup to pressure wash the inventory at car dealerships all the time.
ETA: The water tote and the pressure washer are frequently on the same level for their mobile units.

What size of hose and how many gpm is the washer? Most likely, yes.

Some require certain GPM’s to function properly. Tractor supply, and harbor freight sell in line water pumps that hook up to the truck battery that will provide pressure.

Yes, used to do this with a 55 gal drum in back of truck to wash my dirt scooter at the track back in my glory days.

Make sure it's a high volume hose. I tried to use one of those collapsible hoses with my PW and even hooked up to city water with excellent pressure the PW pump wasn't getting enough water.

I have a 40 gal. RV water tank with pump mounted on top and it functions for refilling my trailer. You need to know the demands of your pump to get it to function to it's potential. For the most part pumps do have a draft or suction that helps increase pressure. As posted before I've seen people use that set up at race tracks.

Mine does, but getting it primed is a cocksucker.

It should.
As someone else posted, use a high volume hose. Or neck it down right on the pressure washer end vs on the tote end. |

I don't think that would be high enough for any decent amount of pressure. Maybe at 40 feet? Depends on requirements I guess.

Quoted:
Water tote would be on f250 with a flat bed, pressure washer on ground. So a ~3-4 drop or so. Will the pressure washer pull enough water from gravity or will I need a pump to pump out of tote and into pressure washer? Sometimes with a high rpm pump the water doesn't have time to fill the cylinder and the piston suction will cause cavitation. This will destroy your pump packings. |
