You can easily and cheaply make your own. Just buy a hand bicycle pump from Walmart with a gauge on it. Be sure it has the adapter needed to blow up air mattresses. Now use this adapter with a short piece of hose to the nipple on your pressure cap. Pump up the coolant system to 14 psi for the test. The cap has a check valve in it that should allow you to pump up the pressure. If it won't hold any pressure then replace the cap with a new "blau" brand one. Other brands are junk even when new. Now you have a pressure tester for probably $10 or less. Have fun. Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com On Sep 7, 2012 2:35 PM, "Travis Newhouse" <travisnewhouse@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi.
