Hello Kolbers,



The November 2016 issue of Kit Plane magazine has an article about building a “Homemade Compressed Air Brake Bleeder” which seems to this neophyte brake installer like a good idea. The directions call for building the reservoir out of 3’’ PVC pipe. Without traveling 50 plus mile, all that is available locally is 3” ABS. I wonder if there is a plastics expert in the group that can tell me of a reason not to build this pressurized reservoir out of ABS pipe?



Thanks for your thoughts,



Nick Cassara

You could try it, but a couple of cautions.  Check the ABS, and make sure brake fluid doesn't dissolve it or soften it.  Keep your air pressure low- ABS is usually used for drain lines, and I don't know what suction will do.  I think it will work.  I watched Richard Pike's link to the Harbor Freight bleeder, and I think you ought to order one.
