MityvacMVA6005 Fluid Evacuating and Dispensing Reservoir Kit, 16oz Capacity, 1/4" ID x 6" L Pick-up Tube, Removable Hanging Hook, Used with Hand Vacuum/Pressure Pumps, Collect/Dispense Large Volumes

I used this to bleed the brakes without having to have someone in the vehicle to press the brake. You’ll need a hand vac pump, and a good seal at the bleeder valve (use a little grease to seal the area).

This larger collection bottle is great for fluid flushing, far more convenient than having to dump the small bottle repeatedly.

Hard plastic that holds integrity when pulling vacuum for brake fluid. Large capacity for doing brake bleed all around car

To prevent sucking brake fluid into my MityVac pump, I wanted a larger contained that the one supplied with the hand pump. The size of this unit is perfect for my needs to flush/fill fluid for my clutch, front, and rear brakes of my motorcycle. Like other reviewers mentioned, the lid to the unit does not create an airtight seal. At first, I used copious amounts of teflon tape, but it didn't last very long. As some pointed out, an o-ring is really needed to make the bottle airtight. I searched Amazon for a 45mmX49mmX2mm o-ring, and found I found a seller offering 10 rubber o-rings at that size for around $5. Once installed in the lid, the bottle now maintains steady vacuum. Like others, I docked the manufacturer one star for tailing to supply the necessary o-ring to make the bottle truly functional.

I was looking for a container that would hold some volume when I was vac bleeding brakes and this works very well and is nice and rigid so it won't collapse from the vacuum. Actually this is my second purchase of this container because I was very happy with the fist one and I will order another if this one also gets accidentally run over in the garage.

Bought this to replace home-brewed vehicle fluid reservoir suction tool (brake fluid reservoirs, power steering reservoirs, etc.). Used Amazon-sourced o-rings to properly seal bottle for usable suction to remove fluids. Works like a champ. The 16 oz. capacity is more than enough to empty most power steering reservoirs and brake fluid reservoirs. I have used it for that purpose on a Honda, Acura, Jeep, and Dodge. Haven't had to empty it and resume suctioning reservoir yet. Got each reservoir emptied in one shot. Using Mityvac hand suction pump to pull suction for removing fluid and bottle hasn't collapsed yet. Thanks Mityvac.

Lids grow with exposure to hydrocarbons. Does not seem like this will last long. I can barely thread the bipple lid on the bottle now.

This worked fine when new but the cap gasket was leaking vacuum when I recently used it and it's about a year old now.
