  • The guts are a 4-ton bottle jack with the ram removed and a thick steel plate welded on top. A hydraulic tee threaded into this steel plate leads to a 3500 psi gauge and a flare fitting for short section of actual injector hose... the other end of which is the OEM fitting for the injector.

    This means that all of the parts are rated far above the 2500 psi operating pressure... but as I said above I still wear goggles, gloves, and long sleeves when using it.

  • Actually if you can find someone to do a tiny bit of welding they are very easy to make using a cheap bottle jack... mine cost about 30 bucks in total.  The pressures are very very high so you need to use proper hydraulic fittings (not stuff from a hardware store) and wear goggles etc when using them.

  • Will this work on Honda cars ?

    wow very impressived of your vlog video

    Thumbs up

  • @FelchBelcher

    i think we have no the same video.

  • @michaelovitch A video of someone injecting fuel into his hand?

  • @dieselscience

    Would you make us a video ?

    i would like to build one too.

  • Vince did you post a writeup of how to build this on the Mercedes forum? It's a nice looking setup and some of us Ford/IH guys have thought about building one too. One note, he's right to be cautious not only can the stream of fuel penetrate your skin but it can cause very serious gangrenous injury which can be fatal if left and treated and painful and expen$ive if treated.

  • n this vid it appears to be a 'cheap bottle jack'. Correct me if I M wrong a person needs to install a pressure guage to read the bar at which the injector breaks...I want to build one...any advice?? Thanks..

  • Vince is correct. DO NOT use cheap parts. I made a tester with low pressure brass fittings but refrigeration grade copper tube. It blew the internal seals but I was lucky it didn't spray into my hands. The fuel comes out hard enough to penetrate skin.

  • I want to buy a tester of this type.
