pressure washer problem

[davers]

Ok today I was using my pressure washer and its a petrol one
the tube that is supposed to go into the detergant wasnt working, it leads to a little gold bolt, with a hole throu so that the detergend can go through it, i loosened the bolt, and tightened it again, i turned on the washer, and all of the water started coming out of this pipe :S

any one have any clues?

Sounds like the bolts some kind of bleed screw? Try turning the pressure washer on and slackening the bolt at the same time?

the bolt has a hole through the centre, so the the detergent can go up through it and mix in the pump of the washer, ive taken the whole thing off, and there is nothing which looks like is missing

mabey an o ring is missing from inside the bolt.

well there was a small rubber ring lying in the the wrong way
what way do you think this should be in place?

I doubt very much anybody on here will be able to give you any advice on whats wrong or how to repair it tbh mate . You might get a few people guessing how and what Sounds like your gonna have to take to a specialist company that deals with pressure washers imo .
