Finally told Britt about my costly flub. First thing she says is, “You’ve saved us thousands over the years with all your DIY’s. Don’t worry about it. You learned something from it, right?”
Gosh, I love that woman. 
(I wasn’t about to correct her and say most of my projects have only broken even 
)

You be careful now, I’ve been caught twice already laundering family money through the business for some race spec cylinder heads. There smart I tell ya.

Seriously. I’m quite sure she understands my track record of time-sucking, money-evaporating, overly involved projects. And she also knows what to say to make me feel better about myself

Just did my second fill up since setting up the truck fuel tank tap, so I was able to calculate my consumption so far.
Doing around 50/50 mix of full throttle and 2500 rpm, I’m using roughly .93 gals/hr. My sample set at this point is incredibly small (only 2.4 hours since the last truck fill-up). But I’m happy with the initial results.
I’m glad I went with the 700. It’s pretty much the same motor as the beloved 690, just with fuel injection. The 800 would’ve been complete overkill for my needs.
I’m also pulling 18.5 mpg pretty consistently with Truck Norris.

I’ve found that there is a point of diminishing returns on flow when it comes to cleaning certain things.
For washing window screens, 5-6 gpm seems to be the sweet spot for efficiency. With 8+ gpm, you just end up fighting with the gun and causing more hand fatigue. And the screens want to blow away from you, costing time and causing frustration.
Also, any areas that require close-up work, like on porches and siding on elevated decks, a little less flow seems more manageable and less punishing.
The igx sounds quite happy (almost peaceful, even) running at 2500 rpm, and my initial data suggests that it’s fairly fuel efficient at that speed.
I really want to figure out how I can control the throttle remotely, now…
Had my first fuel delivery issue this morning. Was parked facing down a slight incline, and the machine was starving for gas. 
Turned the truck around to face uphill and all was good. But I can’t count on being able to face uphill anytime I’m washing.
@SchertzServicesLLC, what’re you using for a booster fuel pump?
You’re gonna have problems with a booster pump on a Honda. Is your tank above, below beside your machine.
Nvrmind, just remembered you plumbed into the truck tank. I’d pull that line out and get a fuel tank. Less headache all the way around

Why do you want to control the throttle remotely
Ha, good question. “Because reasons”
But seriously, I’ve found myself adjusting the throttle frequently enough where I think it’d be nice to be able to do it remotely.
I was up on a roof cleaning some polycarbonate SunTuf panels the other day, and needed a little hotter mix than I was getting at full flow. Had to climb down, adjust throttle, soap it again, climb back down, throttle back up, then finally rinse.
Then I had the underside of the panels to clean, on an elevated porch with no stairs. I cleaned the entirety of the porch at 5.5-6 gpm, which was fine. But would’ve been nice to be able to throttle up remotely to rinse the floor or whatever sections wouldn’t leave me completely soaked.
I am grateful for the flowpro.solutions remote, though. This job was so much more of a pain last time.
