home made pop tester

It looks like the treaded nipple goes straight into the piston rod where the screw extention used to go. How do you keep the piston from moving? The rod must have been bored out so the fluid would flow through it.

What is the resevoir made out of. I had the same idea but could not think of what to make the resivoir out of. This looks prefect

thanks so much

Also I visited a diesel fuel repair shop and they had a whole box of injector lines and said I could get all I wanted for $5 apiece.

To cool this is so gona work lol

On the bottle jack what is the valve on the t for? I would also assume that the jack would be filled with the test fluid? thanks for the pic. Gives me tons of ideas. I looked at several grease guns and I just dont see how they would seal good enough to keek from leaking all over the shop till you buy a really expensive one. Bottle jacks can be bought pretty cheap but it looks like you would need one that can be disasssembled and not welded together.

anyhow I think Im off to harbor frieght lol

This is a diesel nozzle tester for $129.00

I just bought one and it works well. You get two different size adaptor pipes and both are metric. If you want to do Stanadyne pencil injectors like on a 329 engine in a 6600 JD combine you will have to make you own. I used an old pipe from my 4630 which is the tester size (and thread) and bought a used pipe from a junk combine. Drilled the correct size hole into the end of round stock (for a coupler) cut both pipes in two, shoved the ends into the "coupler" and silver soldered the pipes together.
