Our specific concern is that it looks like we are inadvertently spreading Arthraxon in tire treads, and we thought a water pressure washer might work better than air to get mud out of the tires...</div>

<div>It might be easier to do this with compressed air rather than compressed water.
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I would assume you can find a compressor powered by an internal combustion engine rather than an electric compressor. Or, rig the needed converter to go from vehicle DC-power to amps-AC you would need to run the compressor.</div>
