Anybody used a smaller than 24 Litre Compressor to blow out Oil Lines? Ive seen some 4.5 L to 12 L ones and was wondering if there would be enough sustained air to shift water and sludge.
 
Get some of the compressed air bottles from local tool station. Charge them to 12 bar and just use them. Easier than a compressor when it's raining / your in a hole / no juice
 
We carry compressed Oxygen free Nitrogen for blowing out aircon and refrigeration lines (and brazing and pressure testing them) cheap as well.. :)
 
I have just made a fitting to connect up to my expansion vessel pump, not been beaten yet.
 
I have a schrader fitting to go from my van tyre. The hose is 50' long and I usually get through a few tyres before the line is sorted.
Or often just use a my stirrup pump instead.
