<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;">5-10 psi is all that's needed for bleeding the brake or clutch systems.&nbsp; Much more than that and you could break the reservoir or get a leak at a supply hose (between the reservoir and the M/Cs).<br><br>I use the one from bavauto.com with great success.&nbsp; I only use it to hold the air/pressure, not fluid, so I don't have to clean it nor do I run the risk of a big mess should something go wrong.<br><br>Gregory Smith<br>'88 Vanagon<br>Olympia, WA<br></span></body></html>
