So was it steam steam, or steam from super hot water?

As we were filming it was pure steam, I have already started cleaning and told my helper to get the camera,  I put the wand down which allowed the water temp to get above what I normally clean at.

the whip line on the wand was a 12inch piece of thermoplastic Hose which isn't rated for above 100degrees.......which is why it blew the fitting off.

How are you heating the water these days Mike

[Mike Halliday]

In that video I'm using a propane heater.

Just yesturday I picked up  a truckmount I bought off eBay,  a Woodbridge  chemtex which was thier hard floor cleaning version with a 3000psi pump and a diesel burner to heat the water.  So when I fit that in the van this afternoon I will be back to using a diesel heater.

Although I'm looking at altering it to run the propane heater I'm using now as I much prefer gas. it is much more controllable & clean

You could try kerosene it's cleaner than diesel.
