Nilfisk question

Can anyone tell me if a Nilfisk pressure washer can take a feed from a water butt instead of a hose connected to mains water?
 
If it's anything like the Karcher K2, it will need quite a lot of volume to give the sufficient pressure it needs. We used to valet Caravans and Motorhomes before we moved into the specialist side of my business, and I had a custom built trailer to start with, that housed a 400lt tank of water, but because it was laying on it's side, and the outlet was also on the side, there wasn't enough pressure for the Karcher to pull through unless it was totally full.
Karcher claims it will draw from a water butt, however it's not as simple as plugging it onto an outlet in my experience.
Saying this, that was 10 years ago, and the pumps might be a lot better now.
