Vacuum Pump?

[tonkota]

Does anyone have experience with the cheap little vacuum pump from Harbor Freight? I want to do my A/C here pretty soon and would like to vac the system down and hold it for a little while to make sure that there are no leaks.

EDIT:

I guess that it is not really a pump. It has no moving parts so I think that it can't be too bad. I'll get one and post up if it sucks bad or not.

Are you looking for an onboard penis plumper?

You must have lost your way, chat is a little further down.

It will work but you will need a good sized compressor to keep it flowing continuously.

Why do you want a vacuum pump.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<there, is that better?

So that I can remove moisture and test if my A/C system in my FJ62 will hold pressure. I bought one, but I have yet to try it out. It is a small little thing though. I'll update when I use it.

EDIT:
I bought a dryer also, but I want to dry the system before I install it.

Didn't mean to be flip, so sorry for that. A/C will always perform better with all moisture removed. I've just never used A/C and LandCruiser in the same sentence

Me either, but this year I have the parts to fix it and charge it up (Freeze12). I can't wait! It should make the camping trips much more enjoyable.

I tried it out last night. You will need a pretty high volume compressor. I have a two cylinder single stage that kept up with it pretty good. It didn't run constantly, but it did cycle a lot. It was able to suck down to about 25 in hg.

The bad news I think is that it did not come with any hoses, they will need to be purchased separate.

I got this same pump and am going to use it but first looking for an air compressor. I figured if this pump would get the job done since I would not need it a lot then it would be better to put the money into a air compressor then spending $90-150 for a decent vacuum pump.

Get a good one. I don't think a single cylinder would keep up with it, but maybe. Mine is a 5hp two cylinder on a 10-15 gallon tank (I think, I'm not positive).
