[AT] OT - pressure washers

[Ron Cook]

I was wondering who would make this statement.  It is exactly what my 
washer inventor/manufacturer told me 20 years ago.  I then had him build 
me a hot water, fuel oil fired, 110V pressure washer.  3 gals per minute 
of 2200 psi hot water to wash my spray plane and equipment with.  The 
110V is the reason for the 2200 psi instead of probably 3500, but it was 
what I needed at the time.  I have never upped it to 240V, although I 
could.  Don't need to.  Thing works great!  Volume of water is key.
