Vacuum Bleeding Device

What vacuum device do you use for your brake and clutch bleeding? I got the one that Sears sells (sears brand) and it really works well. I was thinking about priming my fuel system with it by attaching a Tee fitting past the rails (billet rails and regulator). Wonder if gas would bother it, brake fluid is ok so I guess gas is too.

Re: Vacuum Bleeding Device

I made a little catch-jar for mine for brake bleeding, to keep the vacuum pump from getting
anything but air inside it. Two pieces of hose,
one pepperoncini jar and a little glue.

Re: Vacuum Bleeding Device

Just bought the Mity-Vac from O'Reilly to bleed my new hydraulics.. Damn, talk about a time saver

Definitely made that little chore easy... Came with a few hoses, catch jar, a dozen or so nozzles&fittings, and of course the pump..

That's what I've used for years and works great.

You did really well! My brother gave me mine as a gift at least 5 years ago. I think he paid $49.
As a matter of fact, I believe the one they sell at Sears IS a MITY VAC in Sears packaging.
