DIY Fuel injector Cleaner Canister????

[scarney1988]

I was thinking about making my own canister style fuel injector cleaner setup. I have fuel system adapters (SO master set and some others), air regulator, and other odds and ends.

Anyone have any ideas for pressure vessel? Must be able to withstand 90ish psi with room to spare. Also, must be refillable.

I'm not opposed to just purchasing one, but thought it might be cool if I could do it safely.

I have to perform these services at work and it would be nice to not have to wait for a rig.

Thanks in advance

Maybe a 12" long threaded piece of pipe 3" or so in diameter. Screw on two end caps and drill and tap them to accept the fittings you need to hook up to compressor and your fuel system adapters.

I'll just need to find pipe that can withstand the pressure and is resistant to chemicals... searching for specs begins

I would think galvanized would work but I don't know for sure if it's safe for chemicals. I would put a decent screen filter into it so nothing can get threw.

Also I would keep in mind the OTC version is around 130 bucks. So if I didn't have most of what I needed laying around I would probably buy the OTC one. I love to make my own stuff also but I'm a hoarder and have collected a good variety of donor parts and pieces for most projects. 3" pipe and fittings can add up pretty fast so if it was too much it wouldn't be worth it to me. Would love to see pics if you build one!

I def have everything but a pressure vessel, so as I can construct a SAFE ONE than I will. Thanks for the responses.

Maybe you can adapt a sure shot sprayer into what you need.

One of the coolest guys on YouTube who runs a channel called Jafromobile did a DIY injector cleaner. Here's the video:

What are you gonna do for hook ups to the fuel rail or line?
