I have a photo of just such a thing I made up... couldn't be much easier.. can even use the cap you have and a old valve stem (all over the floor of some messy shops) and a short length of tube... I used it to bleed my rad once... you pump in some air......open your bleeder on the rad and let out air until you tank level gets down to the side hose...close bleeder valve... take off the cap.... add more fluid,..... repeat until all air is out of system... anyone interested send me a p-mail I'll bounce the 70k .jpg back.

I assume that you take off the burp tank cap and install the pressure tester there. Has someone found a tool that works go for this and installs on the Burp Tank? Can it be found at a flaps? Mark |
