Wierd I made one of these today before I watched your video we had similar ideas. I cut off the screw top and welded a fitting into the piston I didn't have a lathe I used a hand drill. Works great got my injectors to fire at 2200 psi.
the idea is excellent, there as ways to build this setup that there is viewers. on many jacks, the extension nut is a part by itself so your arrangement should be modified but the overall of the setup is the same
I have build a diesel injetor poptester...i cannot get to pressure up ...and i have notice that diesel returning ithe to reservoir....the Jack was new and never used.... please help me... thankyou
Uhhh yea,, if not for the piston it would not develop pressure, the seals around the piston are stronger than the O rings that keep the oil from leaking out.
@@Bartspar68 Don't need piston, I made one from a 2 ton bottle jack and no piston in it been working for 8 years now. Nice set up though, impressed with the way you welded everything and put the bottle for extra fuel hanging above it, I don't have reservoir bottle for mine, I have to fill it up often.
@@cppower14 of course, in fact ll other videos here , on this, do away with the piston; the inner tube keeps the pressure; this is just another way at it.
Nice job, But it does not let you know how much return fuel that comes back into the tank ,May be you could T off the fuel line some how, Thanks' for showing the assembly
this looks great but I need 240 bar or about 3500 psi. Any idea if a 3 ton jack be capable of this? I'm stuck in Hungary with some diesel injectors off my motorhome that need testing. I mixed up springs and shims while cleaning. That's the only thing holding me back from a vacation in Italy! everything here shut down about a week before christmas and goes until early January. agggghghghgghgh The one guy that is working this week is a machinist.
Hi Kevin, very cool video and thank you for making it , your funny and right to the point that is cool, thanks again you give inspiration to many i am sure, i am going to build one now thanks to you. I found a bottle jack on Craigslist for $8 and a 3000 psi guage on amazon for $10 : ) !!! Have a nice day !
It was an 1.5 ' nut that would not allow the piston any upward travel,, it could be anything, a piece of pipe with a washer welded in it,, all that needs to occur is restrain the piston then all the pressure comes out the fitting.I will work on a bill of materials and post it soon...
One thing to bear in mind when build one of these, keep the process clean as possible as you don’t want to introduce dirt fragments into your nicely cleaned injectors.
I did tig weld it, with regular mild steel, The fittings were high grade hydraulic types and I think that had something to do with the sheen combined with the wirebrush I used to kind polish them,, Thanks for the feedback ..

Excellent video. I am gong to build one. Regards from Canada. Thanks for posting.
Josss Mr...👍👍👍greet from java east Indonesian...good job and good luck always

Nice Video, I've got inspired. Regards from Algeria !
how about a list of fittings and where to get them. >????
nice share ,,,,, i am going to copy it ,,,,,,,,
Awesome video thank you!
Hi, I cannot remove this screw which You shows on 2:20, can You tell me pls ? take care
I have build a diesel injetor poptester...i cannot get to pressure up ...and i have notice that diesel returning ithe to reservoir....the Jack was new and never used.... please help me... thankyou
What fittings did you use... I have the same bottle jack and 80s Mercedes diesel injectors that need testing
impressive, nice vid
why did you put the piston back in?? it's not needed at all lol

The jack I am using is a 1.5 ton jack. the jack you are going to use is twice as capable
Could you stick weld those pieces ? That’s all o got.
Very nice... and thanks for putting this up for all of us gearheads to learn.

Did you do it? I'm curious if a small jack can deliver 3000 psi.
what did you weld to the nut to keep the piston in?? All you say is "weld this to this!" WTF? it is not an original part of the jack, so what is it?
It was an 1.5
' nut that would not allow the piston any upward travel,, it could be anything, a piece of pipe with a washer welded in it,, all that needs to occur is restrain the piston then all the pressure comes out the fitting.I will work on a bill of materials and post it soon...
you don't even need the piston in there.
he kept the piston to seal a hole in the tube that recurculates fluid to the reservoir
A sawed in half pipe fitting, >>1" pipe
Built one like you said and work perfect, thanks very much saved me $$$
One thing to bear in mind when build one of these, keep the process clean as possible as you don’t want to introduce dirt fragments into your nicely cleaned injectors.
Did you say 2000 psi?? Seems low
I have remuved the piston...
Kevin ...................................... Thank you !
Hi. I was wondering about the types of injectors that this would work for. What was the thread on the injector in the video?
Nice ,really nice ,off the hardware store for me
Thanks. Very helpful. Subbed.
Great video, im going to make one. Thanks
Right ON, good luck , let me know if you have any questions..
The Liu
Nice Video. I notice the welds looked a Brassy colour, did you braze weld it or tig weld with Silicon Bronze?
I did tig weld it, with regular mild steel, The fittings were high grade hydraulic types and I think that had something to do with the sheen combined with the wirebrush I used to kind polish them,, Thanks for the feedback ..
Wonderful
What do you pour into the pump, diesel or hydraulic oil?
Diesel
Kevin, thanks for making the video.
Nice job... how did you weld the cap nut and fittings ?? mig/tig or braze ??
Had the tig machine going so I used it cause it was the handiest..
Tig welded
Kevin Wilson could I do this with a mig with flux core set up. Is it all steel or would it need to be tig?
Part apa saja yang diperlukan???
Wow! What a great video by a highly skilled individual. Well explained down tothe last detail. Gotta try it.
Awesome, thanks!
Excellent thanks
Kevin, thanks for posting! Great Shop!
Where did you get fitting for injector line?
I actually had a used injector pump from a vw rabbit truck that has the same fitting to fit the Mercedes injector line
