With what do you squirt ATF?

I have three of those little forefinger pump oil cans that you squeeze the trigger on to shoot a little stream of oil. I keep ATF in two and heavier oil in the third I use them quite a bit. I also keep WD-40 in a refillable air charged can. Well today I went to get another one to use for brake fluid to fill empty lines from the wheel cylinder up to the master. I went to three different places, and found out that they are obsolete. No one uses them any more. How do you squirt oil?
 
Which are you having trouble finder, a pump oiler or a reusable sprayer?

Al sorts of both on the 'net.

I was surprised at the price of the reusable sprayer, I have a couple that are 20 or 30 years old. I think we paid more than that for them, "back in the day" from a traveling tool peddler.

Dish soap bottle , Mustard bottle , Ketchup bottle , any kind of squirt bottle I
can get my fingers on . I have even drilled a hole in the top of a plastic oil
bottle , and put a small chunk of hose in the top , and squeezed the bottle , the
hose will reach into hard to reach spots. Also good for oiling running roller
chains .
 
I mix u-p my own gloop, in a Windex bottle, some ATF, some PB Blaster out of s used can, some 30 wt., some whatever I can find, shake it up, it all works.
 
You can still get them. Home Depot has the small ones and Grainger has the large ones.

Another good place is flea markets and car
shows. Picked up two squirt cans just the
past couple of weeks. Do yourself a favor!!!
Unscrew the piece and see if it has a metal
pump and is rust free. The newer ones have
plastic pumps and gasoline dissolves them.
Also look for the straight trigger type.
Work like a gun and are very easy to shoot
right where you want it.
 
When ever you use a used plastic bottle from another product you better test it first because some plastics will melt.
 
Try Mcmaster Carr. They have everything. Good website catalog. Excellent company to do business with. Stuff comes in a day or two.
 
Why bleed brakes the hard way? Go to tractor
supply and buy some clear tubing long enough
so you can see it from the drivers seat and the size
that will slip over the bleeder fitting. Put the other
end in a can with a little brake fluid in it; just
enough to cover the end. Start pumping the brake
pedal and watch the bubbles go thru the
hose.when the bubbles stop, tighten the bleeder
and you're done. 15 minutes and I can bleed all 4
wheels without any help.

RLP, I understand the process but where/how do you place the containers on the right side so that you can see the bubbles in the tube? You would have to be somehow suspending the tubes higher than the bottoms of your windows.
 

Google "zoom spout oil" I have use the oilier for 500 years maybe more. It has a extendable spout I fill it with what ever oil that's left from empty oil cans... I also have Bob's oil cans but don't like'em for general use.
 
Hi showcrop.I have a soft clear plastic
tube about 10 feet long. It is maybe
3/16 id. Anyway it fits tight over the
bleeder. Just run the tube under the
truck on the ground over to the can
right outside the door so you can see
it.The fluid in the can will keep the
bubbles from flowing back up the
tubeing. You really don't have to use a
long tube like I do. I just like to see the
bubbles disappear. You could just use
a short tube and put the can by each
wheel. Then just pump the brake
pedal a bunch of times but keep the
tank full or you will pump air back in
the line. It's really very simple and a
great time saver. I am the inventor of
this method and have shared it on
other automotive sites. I hope that I
have explained it right.

Yes, you explained it very well. Like I said I understood the process, but my problem was how to run the tubing with the containers some how suspended four feet off the floor. Now I see that it needs to just lie on the floor. To where do I send the royalty check?
