A bottle-jack works much better. Many older diesel companies used to sell them in that fashion. I've made a few - and they work fine. Here's a photo of the original tester that Buda Engine Co. used to sell.

Wow I never imagined I would get so much info when I started this thread. Thanks for the great pics. I got a harbor frieght jack today much like the one you have in the picture.

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
Jeremy

Ok I just realized the resevoir is a hvlp paint gun resevoir. Man hit me like a brick.

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

I looked at the one for sale at hardy diesel. Thanks for the tip on that site. It looks like a really good unit and I may end up buying one in the end. For right now I would really like to build one just cause it sounds like a fun do it yourself project.

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

I've never seen one that was welded together. Even my cheapest Chinese junkers come apart. The valve is so you can relieve the line-pressure before unhooking the injector you're testing. It also will be much better is you add a small, easily filled reservoir with some sort of filter in it. Here are some photos of another bottle-jack tester - home made (no mine).
