Reply to "Brake fluid?"

I have had my own home made vacuum system for a long time. It really helps flowing a lot of fluid; so much so you almost need some one to stay on the reservoir.

As with anything the details are what make it work. Here are 2 points.

1. I put thread sealant on the bleed screws which helps keep the bleeder form pulling air around the threads.

2. I open and close bleeder using ignition pliers from Seers. Always seems to work better then a wrench.

Also, it flows enough fluid I have put in several master in dry.

Second photo does not show pump attached but it is always attached and running when I bleed. The set up is also good for sucking out fluid from things like the master cyl, power steering pumps, lawn mower oil, etc.
