pressure washer manifold image

I'm afraid of breaking anything mechanical or electrical if I use the power wash, but I can't think of any oother way to give the engine and everything else under the hood a good cleaning. Thank you.
Answer
no at the pressure that the washer uses, so many things can go wrong. you can force water and detergent into small areas in the engine, you can short out several areas in the electrical systems, you can force water into the intake manifold, or the oil pan. if you can adjust the pressure down quite a bit, you should be ok, but avoid the ignition system.

Why does my shower water get suddenly very hot?

I'll be in the shower with the water on lukewarm when for no reason it will start coming out scalding hot for about 20 seconds and I have to move out of the water's path until this is over. Adjusting the knobs during the hot water burst doesn't help because by the time I adjust it, the burst is over.
I'm the only one in the house so it's not someone else flushing a toilet or running a sink or anything.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks.

I get this complain it apartment maintance. I'm assuming you have a shower with a seperate knob for hot and cold water. Your knobs are attached to valve stems. At the end opposite the knob is a round rubber BIBB WASHER held on the valve shaft with a bibb screw.. One cause could be a loose bibb washer on the cold stem that moves back and forth and blocks cold water flow as pressure in the main fluctuates. It can block cold water so all you get is HOT water (and blisters). Yoy have to shut off the cold water to that valve or maybe the whole house to remove the valve. (Trust methis is a must.) then you can remove the handle, the tube between the handle and the wall and access the valve. But before you remove the valve, turn it on the bleed off pressure in the line and to ensure it is shut off. Okay, the valves I work on can be removed with a13/16th spark plug socket. take the valve out and see if the washer is loose. Replacing the washer is good since you're in there. Also shine a flash light into the manifold (where the valve was screwed in and see if there is any debris like lime or mineral deposits. Smear plumber grease on the valve theads and re-install. Be sure to start the valve by hand so you do not cross thread the valve and trash the manifold. Tighten up the valve. Install tube and handle and see if this cures the issue
