Do you go with a replacement just in case?

That clear tube on the right. When I had someone out to look at mine he found it was twisted/kinked and thought it odd as it shouldn't be able to get twisted, so he unkinked it and it has been working fine last 5 months but just going again now.

Same thing as before keeps showing E133 code (gas supply but it also says on instruction thats one of the codes you can often get of by resetting) and resetting works maybe one out of every 15 or 20 tries.

Got him coming back Monday. If the tube has kinked again, new tube?

Never thought of doing that with the pressure washer I like it, do you put any chemical in plate first then wash through or just straight on the pressure washer?
