Pressure Washer Pump used to pressurize pressure vessel?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking advice on using a pressure washer pump to pressurize water in a small pressure vessel up to 1500 psi for 5 to 10 minutes. They provided links to two specific pressure washer models for consideration. One response suggested using a gas cylinder with a pressure regulator instead, but the user clarified that they require pressurized water without trapped air. The discussion centers on the feasibility of pressure washer pumps for this specific application. The conversation highlights the need for a suitable solution to maintain the desired pressure effectively.

Hi, I am working on a project that requires me to pressurize water in a small pressure vessel up to a pressure of 1500 psi. I am searching for a pump to do this. Do you guys think a pressure washer pump such as this one:
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/CarWashingCleaning/PressureWashersElectric/PRD~0398557P/Simoniz+2000+PSI+Electric+Pressure+Washer.jsp?locale=en

or this one:
http://www.princessauto.com/pal/product/8149650/Pumps-%26-Unloaders/3.5-GPM-@-2,000-PSI-Pump-Assembly

will be able to accomplish the task and hold pressure constant at 1500 psi for 5 or 10 minutes?

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks,
Josh

If you only need to ho;d pressure for a short time and don't have to repeat the operation too often have you thought about a gas (nitrogen) cylinder and a pressure regulator?
 
Hi thanks for your response. It has to be pressurized water in the tank (ideally with no air trapped inside)
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
