Backpack model, anybody use one for the garden? I am adding a mister kit to a backpack blower, and wondered if anyone has any experience with this type of sprayer. Specifically, the kit is from an Echo sprayer, and I am mounting it on a different blower. I would assume from what I read in the installation manual, the tank is pressurized from the blower, forcing the liquid down a hose to a nozzle, at the end of the blower tube. I also assume that you would want to drill the air supply line as near to the outside radial surface of the fan housing as possible, to take advantage of the mechanical advantage of the fan. (it sucks air near the center of the fan, and blows it toward the outside edge. There are no turbine shaped fins, just straight across) Any comments, tips, discussion appreciated
