dave defehr Posted: Oct 02, 2014 11:46 PM	E10 pressures Still having pressure problems with my E10. I was told to drain ISO and flush for an hour or so with All Solve in hoping this might soften or remove any crystallization that might be occurring in the lines causing my "A" side to be somewhat restricted, thinking this might be the reason my pressures don't balance out when pressuring up to spray. If this doesn't work I will buy new "A" side hoses. Any thoughts?

(my logo for 15 years!) foam-it maybe foam-it however foam-it up foam it down you add the word,,itS still just FOAM-IT! LOL

dave defehr Posted: Oct 09, 2014 11:36 PM	Yes. Same pressure issues. I bought new ISO hoses because when I held them and bent them back and forth I could hear cracking sounds in the hoses in the first 5 feet from the machine as if the iso had some crystalizing inside the hose so to eliminate that I bought new hoses. I haven't received them yet so I'm not sure if this will fix the promlem but at least I know I have new hoses.

think of a cup of karo clear syrup...and a cup of molasses,,, tip the cups to pour and the clear syrup will pour out faster as it is thinner and moves easier,,,thats what goin on son,,the a side is just a bit thicker when colder and your ****** machine cant process it in equal proportions,,it cant pull it in in equal amounts,,,walla your off ratio...

have fun
oh yes,,,and FOAM-IT! (my logo for 15 years!)
foam-it maybe
foam-it however
