Electric PW Leak?

[manzz]

Brand new to the business, as im doing this as a side job on the weekends to make some extra cash



I picked up a Husky 1800PSI PW at home depot. I made all my connections and noticed there is a leak coming from the inlet on the pw, where the hose from the tank connects to. There is a quick connect and that`s where it leaks from. I did have to attach a new fitting to the hose that conneccts to the quick connect that goes to the pw. It`s annoying



Is there something i can do to fix it?

Mine is the same way. I think we need a better quality quick connect, or better yet, call the toll free number on the PW and see what they say.

I will hook you up the next time that we meet for a detail. I use thread tape for all my PW connections. It is the cheapest insurance against leaks.
