Gasoline electric hybrid pressure idea.
Not the first time I thought hey it would be cool if I could run the gasoline and the electric at the same time. Well the problems with that are the electric runs like 1,500psi and the small gas one ran 2,200psi and the big gas one runs nearly 3,000psi. So that wouldn't work.
Well recently I tried a 3mm soap nozzel, only makes like 1,000psi but it's got some reach.
Still there's the problem of the big pressure washers unloader valve makes like 3,000psi on the lowest setting. So that probably wouldn't work well on a machine that makes 2,000psi max. Well then I found a 1/4npt stainless steel check valve in my junk collection rated for 6,000psi.
Might be able to make something happen.
Get 5.5gpm at somewhere around 1,250psi out of that soap nozzel.
