When you’re done using it just loosen the pump handle, open the ball valve and use a little shop air to push most of the fluid back into the pump sprayer, great idea Sir 👍😁
When i made mine i used a piece of brake line to bend into the hook then you screwed it right to the ball valve and put a barb fitting on the other side to hook to the hose
doing this today... going to leave the original line to the wand and just cut it off and attach the ball valve. clear tubing from the ball valve to an adapter (have one that fits into the fill fitting). for other cars I'll swap out the adapter for an open ended tube. thanks!
You can also heat up plastic pipe, slide it into a spring that is just big enough to put the plastic pipe in, bend it keeps the shape round. Personally I just used a piece of copper pipe and use a silicone vacuum plug cap on the end of it when I’m not using it.
Nice video! But, I bought a Black & Decker “Jack Rabbit” pump 25 years go. It’s a hand rotary tubing pump. I have used it for gear oil, trans oil, PS fluid, brake fluid, etc. It fits down the tubing of a dip stick for oil or trans fluid. When I overfilled something I could correct it easily. I always rinsed the inner part of the tubing with alcohol.
The only issue I have with this type of vinyl hosing is they tend to dry much faster when flushing/cleaning with brake cleaner. I began using purple degreaser like ZEP from HD to clean that hose.
Enjoyed the video and gave me ideas. Question: Do you have any times of how long it takes to transfer X amounts of Y fluids where X is the volume and Y is engine oil or gear oil or transmission fluid?
For the frequency we need to address gear and tranny/transfer case fluids 1 foot of clear vinyl tubing on the end of gear oil spout works just fine. Im not going to dedicate or clean a pressure bleeder to this job.
Sand works great inside the tube to not collapse pvc tubing when heating and bending. Just for future reference.
Great idea!

Just bought all the stuff I need according to this video.. I’ll be making my own later tonight, thanks for the video 💪🏽
We always heated the 80/90 gear oil in hot water, before using it to change lubricant. (Ya HAVE to in Cold Weather, ya know?). Lol...
Nice thought process. Good products. Cannot see this not be a good tool, well done.

I use a gear oil marine pump for filling a boat motor lower unit. I just wanted to say that works great for me.
Next we need the vacuum version for fluid extraction.
That's what I thought he was going to somehow make out of this.
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 ya that’s what I was coming here to say!

Hot (just off boiling) is a safe way to make a tube or hose malleable.

I wonder if you could use a plastic bladder or plastic baggy inside it to make cleanup a little easier.
Great video and DIY project! 👊🏼
I think it will be fine as long as you don't try to pump cold (i.e., winter time outside temps) gear oil.
i used a Shrader valve in 2 sprayers . the sprayers have a pressure ReLeafon them from the factory
Nice project, thanks!
I used a garden sprayer for light weight oil or gas
bigger pumps have larger tubing, so just start with a bigger pump @16:40 I'm gonna make one thx
great minds think a like good job, But the big question was the pump strong enough to move heavy gear oil?
Yes, absolutely
Amsoil has the bag and nozzle design that works good for the job.. but this more universal tool is likely good for all sorts a things
Nice. Will have to think about this. About time to change those fluids in the Ram.
Same I have up coming but very much needed preventative maintenance on my Ram and BMW this will help tremendously
LONG LIVE THE HEMI V8 🤘

Could you use the trigger mech instead of the valve?
Too small of an "Orifice" in the trigger mechanism, for Very Viscous Fluids.
how come you just didn't use the wand that it came with so when you press down it releases and when you let go it stops?
@@deerphoria4314 the fluid takes forever to go through the weed sprayer small valve.

why not use the hose it came with
I was thinking the same 🤷🏽♂️😂
I’m guessing to see the fluid travel through the hose in most instances you don’t want to pump air into your project, like brake lines and stuff
how would yo reverse it to extract gear oil from one plug ford
You can attach a vacuum to a container bigger than the fluid amount needing to be extracted. Just don’t do it with flammables like gasoline.
Just Curious... On the bend you did where it inserts into a trans, diff, etc., ...what is the length you determined that seemed to work the best...?
About 2 inches.
Thank you…👍
Hot water, maybe a bit 0 soap for fittings.
Nice job god bless
How do you clean it?
Soapy water, then just hot water.
Did you use 5/16" barb ball valve deliberately or because you couldn't find a 1/4" one at that time?
I'm guessing he went with that to maintain a 1/4 inside diameter and a fit that would not require a clamp
Very cool!
7:45 👏
What kind of knife was that?
Put the hose into a bucket of hot water ..
What brand knife is that? That thing is sweet.
Benchmade Infidel. Favorite knife I've ever had.
@@SpeedysGarage Thanks! I see one in the future as a self-bought birthday present! Lol!
