Jim,
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=2567
Here it is... a whopping $35 bucks.
All you need now is an assortment of AN plugs and AN flare/pipe fittings
to adapt the hose to be tested to the pump. Easy. Any hose store has
them, or ACS or Wicks.

Vince,
Went to Harbor Freight, no hyd pumps. Just did a search on Tool
Centrals site, no luck. Any ideas where I can get one of these?
Thanks,
Jim

Subject: hose testing
SNIP Can anyone recommend a place that will pressure check my oil and
fuel lines that I built up on site?
I would like to pump them up to 500-1000 psi or so.
Thanks,
Jim Stone

scroll about 2/3 of the way down or CTRL F on "pressure test" to find an
EASY, CHEAP, HOMEMADE way to pressure test your hoses up to 2000psi.

Jim, get yourself a bottle of Nitrogen, and regulator with gages, you
can then test as high as 2500 PSI. if you choose. (An easy hook
up..).. be safe
though....This might be a little too high tho..billy

With all due respect to Billy, this is a poor idea. Hydraulic fliud is
noncompressible, so if you have a hose failure all you get is a little
squirt of fluid. If you have the same failure while using nitrogen,
air, or any other gas, you're liable to have parts flying all over the
room putting dents in your airplane, your skull, etc..
The hydraulic pressure is very easy to control. Controlling gas
pressure?????....well, just imagine what a 2500psi fart would do to your
butt.
Regardless of whether you use gas or hyd. fluid, it's a good idea to
throw a towel, bag of lead shot, or other weight over the hose just in
case. Pros who use gas pressure to test do so in a blow-proof box.

Thanks for the steer,
I failed to search their website after trying the store here in Louisville.
I will order one today. Do you know if I need a special gage that works
with fluids?
Thanks Vince,
Jim
