That is more like what you need. The only thing I would say, is that you might want to make sure it hooks up to a standard sized hose. Cause you'll probably need that to hook it up to your pressure washer.

I looked at the photo closely, and couldn't tell. The hookup on the side facing you in the photo obviously hooks up to a much smaller tube. It looks sort of like a pond water pump to me.

I think something like this is more up your alley Shurflow 2088-343-135 12V, 3 GPM, Diaphragm Water Pump

ok so i mounted the pump to my truck today it was a great deal i had to get it 30 bucks from a fire department worker it works great i just have to remember to turn it off when not using it bc it pumps 10gpm and my pressure washer only uses 2.9gpm so alot of manual work needed.....im open for suggestions guys i be reading to see what you guys have to say or what i should do to keep my pressure washer safe maybe a longer hose to slow down the speed a little or something

It may pump water just fine...but you don't want overkill. Plus, if it isn't a demand pump, it's just gonna keep pumping. You'd have to manually shut it off when you release the trigger of your pressure washer.

Does it shut itself off with back pressure? If not, you may just have a utility transfer pump. More so meant to transfer water out of basements and such.

Don't know how much experience you have, but I would be very careful with a 3000 PSI pressure washer. Good for driveways, dangerous on paint.

Pressure is easily adjusted down with the throttle.

No worries.
