Briggs & Stratton 6151 Pump Saver Anti-Freeze and Lubricant Formula for Pressure Washers, 10.7-Ounce, Black

This is the only power washer I have ever owned, and it did not know the virtues of using a pump lubricant. Boy am I impressed. It only took a 2 second burst for the lube to come out the other pump fitting, meaning this can will last for many many applications. The lube foams, so I suppose it fills the pump with foam lubricant. Easy to use.I had problem starts, every time, where it felt like the motor would kick back when pulling the rope. It was scary and pretty hard on my hand. Also, if I was not pulling the trigger on the wand, I could not run the washer more than 2 or 3 seconds without the motor coming to an immediate stop. These were both due to the pump, because neither issue is present after just one application. I suspect there was a pressure valve stuck in the pump for when the motor is on and trigger is not pulled so the pressure bleeds back to the inlet. I don't know how it works, but now it works; before the motor would crash to a stop. Not anymore. And no more kickback when I pull the rope, and no more constant surging of the motor. I'm amazed, absolutely amazed. I hope it works so well for everybody. I am a believer in it now, my pressure washer was a POS because I never lubed the pump in 5 hours of use in 4 years. It works so well now I'll probably use it more often.USE TIP:Connect a quick release connector to the adaptor on the can so you can just snap the can on, give it a burst, and snap it off....done. See the picture.

This stuff is the best. Overall, not too expensive as one can last about nine months to a year. I am a total Do-it-Yourselfer and use pressure washers around my house (and job site) all the time. Just one little shot of this stuff and the pump seals, pistons, cams, etc. are lubricated. The other enviro stuff is junk, worthless. This is the best of this type of sealant and protection for your pumps. I have five washers, with the oldest from 1996, (craftsmen/generac 2350psi) yep (1996) and the newest from 2008 (excel 2500psi). I rotate the use of these washers. The craftsmen pump pistons pitted back in 1999 and failed. I replaced the three pistons and seals and did not know about this stuff back then. I have been using this stuff since that breakage and no pump has gone bad since. I have tried the enviro stuff since and it is junk, don't waste your time and money on that stuff. Recommend this stuff right here, it does the job very well, nice lubricate and it's pressurized. Just start using it.

Very easy to install & protect pump from freezing weather (unheated shed storage).A little expensive, although considering the ease of install, worth the $$.

I use this religiously after every use of my pressure washer. I have quick disconnects on the water supply hose and the pump inlet, and put one on the can of this pump saver, too - which makes it very easy and quick to use.

I purchased my first pressure washer this summer, so this fall when I needed to winterize the pump I asked my brother-in-law, who used to work for a company that made and sold pressure washers, what I needed to do before winter. He went into this long explanation involving RV anti-freeze, funnels with tubes, and fittings for the pump. I thought there had to be an easier way so I googled it and found this. When I used the pump saver the first time I thought it can't be this easy, I must have done it wrong. So, I did it again just to be sure. This stuff works great and it's so easy and fast. The 5oz can will be enough for several applications.

I have Simpson PS3228-S model gas pressure washer. In attempting to winterize it this year for the first time, I used one of the more common non-pressurized type of antifreeze/lubricant products available. After removing the outlet hose and gun, I attached the bottle of product to water inlet open by screwing it on. With the engine off, I then squeezed the bottle of solution with one hand while repeatedly pulling the recoil starter cable. I'm estimating that I tried pulling the starter 75 to 100 times while trying various versions of this without success (ex: putting to washer on a steep incline where the bottle is on the high side to optimize flow by gravity of the fluid, etc.). Again, all without success. No solution came out the outlet opening.I then contacted the manufacturer, Simpson, twice. They were easy to contact and understand (USA based support?), but seemed limited in their knowledge of the this machine. They stated that I should be able to winterize the washer using the non-pressurized products. Searching on line, I discovered that this model of Simpson is known for being difficult to winterize. But, I could not find any information on how to winterize it. After I contacted Simpson the second time, they did suggest for me to contact a local, private small engine repair business. The local business was quite helpful. Here's what they suggested for proper winterization of a gas pressure washer (with added suggestions by me):i) Remove gas from gas tank with a turkey baster (This way you can easily reuse the gas without spilling it). You can purchase a stainless steel one from Amazon (purchase one that doesn't drip... read the reviews). You could also drain tank by disconnecting the gas hose. But, for my engine, this wasn't very convenient.ii) Connect washer to water source, turn water on and run washer. Run washer with wand depressed (to prevent damaging your washer) until it runs out of gas.iii) Connect pump saver to water inlet. Point pressurized water outlet in a safe direction. Put container under the end of the outlet. It should be tilted so that it both catches the solution and prevents product from spraying on the floor/ground. Depress product button until product comes out the water outlet for a couple of seconds. Note: product may come out the opening one to two or more feet.iv) If you live in a cold climate (it freezes), the small engine repair business suggested that you still store the washer in a heated area (he stated that he stores his in his basement... if you do this, it is critical that there is no gas left in the engine... see above). His logic is based on running his business for over twenty years. He stated that at least one time per year, a person brings into his shop a washer pump that has been damaged by freezing even though it has been properly winterized. He has no explanation as to why it occurs; only that it does occur. I suspect that that the antifreeze does not contact some areas inside the pump of some models of pressure water pumps.After my experience, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you to support your local small engine repair facility. Without their knowledge and experience, I would of wasted even more time trying to perform what should of been a very easy task.
