Diesel pressure washers often used for heavy-duty cleaning tasks because of the higher power they produce, are often used for cleaning large commercial equipment, industrial machinery, and construction sites. They are more powerful than their electric or petrol types, making them ideal for tough cleaning jobs. They are also more fuel-efficient and reliable than petrol pressure washers. They are portable and can be used in remote locations where electricity is not available. They can also be used for extended periods without needing to be refuelled, which is useful for large-scale cleaning projects.
However, because of exhaust fumes they should not be suitable for indoor use due to the potential health hazards associated with diesel exhaust.
What PSI do I need?
A good home pressure washer of 2000 PSI is great for most things including cleaning cars, house windows, driveways and removing weeds and grass from between paving bricks. For hard surfaces such as concrete with oil stains swimming pools and wall stains 3000 plus PSI diesel pressure washers areĀ a better option.
Are diesel pressure washers any good?
Yes, diesel pressure washers are cheaper to run and usually have longer more reliable lifespans and because of the high compression of a diesel engine Higher PSI pumps can be fitted. Petrol pressure washers are usually cheaper than diesel pressure washers and for home use you usually have other petrol running machines such as lawnmowers.
