Hi all
After I recently posted a thread asking for advice on using my newly completed pop tester - a member PM'd me asking for pictures and advice on building one.

I mainly followed the excellant DIY by Cornblatt " How to build a diesel pop tester" in the rosource link here a PeachParts.

Used a Harbor Freight 2-ton jack $10. NOTE: Northern Supply jacks wont work for a pop tester because of a differant design.

I bought a 3000psi guage from Lintz - $16 inc. shipping.

I got the high pressure fittings from Wilco in Houston - maker of hydraulic hoses etc. $12

Used a disposable paint cup for a Harbor Freight gravity-feed paint gun $1.50 for a diesel supply container

Made a stand for the diesel supply container from 1/8 X 1/2 aluminum flat bar and two clamps to secure it to the jack barrel. The container was held to the stand with plumbing strap.

Used a Mercedes pre-filter to keep dirt from getting to the injectors being tested. Really, I should have used a finer filter for this.

Bought an injector line from the junkyard $1.50

All in all it was a fun project and is working fine - so far.
