Default I use one at work.

One of the guys had a hand pump one that worked great. One of the other guys managed to crush it and hasn't gotten a good hand pump one since. What I mean by good is one you can pump about 5 times and walk away. I have an air powered one but have had 2 blow up on me. Turns out we are running a ridiculous amount of air pressure and you're not supposed to exceed 90 PSI on them. I now have a regulator on it. Unless you have a good sized compressor at home, I would stick with a hand pump model. Other than that, it is very handy. Some of the newer engines have the filter on top now and I also use it on 1.8T's and just grab the filter from the top.

Did you get yours from Jerry Bleach? I've been hesitant because I didn't get an e-mail response

Default I wonder if there are some marine shops closer to town?

I'll be looking at tall ships this weekend :P

Default Maybe. My friend was saying it was one of the only places he could find them

but I have to think the marine shops around the west side and Granville Island must have them too.

Yeah, they even sent 2 extra dip tubes when I asked. The sale price is pretty good too.

Default You swal...

Just another reason to show the wife I needed the air compressor.

It's still a bear getting the oil filter off.
