    Hey guys does anybody know how hot the water gets with one of these? We have temp guage at the wand at 100' of line and the hottest we have gotten it is 140 degrees? Is this normal we have a little bit of a orange flame does it burn completely blue when running properly?

    You need to clean your gas jets or replace your regulator with the proper one.

    Mine produces steam. My fittings will burn skin.

    In the summer I can easily get 220 at the wand... It seems like the higher the psi the hotter it gets.

    Awesome Guys thanks for your info I knew there had to be something wronge. My partner just got this van and we have never worked with pro before. Thats what we thought everybody I hear talk about a fuel burning heater seems to have really good heat.
    We messed around with the thermo and it seems that who ever worked on it last didn't put the little dial on right so it was only coming on about halfway. WOW the heat is crazy. 200-210 with wand wide open. Thanks again for all your help.
