Are you mobile or is this a fixed location? If mobile you might need a booster pump to deliver sufficient water to the pressure washer. If you are using gravity to deliver water to the pressure washer it probably is that your pressure washer is using more water than can be fed by gravity alone. The booster pump will deliver sufficient water to handle the demands of the pressure washer.

What is the GPM of the pressure washer? 3, 4 or 5 gallons per minute?

Terrific Detail :
I think this issue was raised in the past so the site search feature may be useful. I have no real knowlege here but suggest you make sure your tank is adequately vented so you don't create a vacuum as the water goes out.
Perhaps try it with the fill cap removed. Just my speculation, though.
