Make the tool...google "homemade manometer"...worked just fine for me! -
Don't make it as you'll run into more issues than they are worth - especially when a good one is only a $100.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Yes, it's possible, but I am amused at some of the attempts for homemade manometers.
A good manometer can be had for about $85-90, but the one that is generally accepted as "the best" is about $115 (dpending on the exchange rate with the British Pound).

I'm all for having the right tools and I'll pick up an actual manometer in the near future (if not only just for the convenient size), but what's wrong with the homemade versions? It seems like a rather simple tool; vacuum across four lines. I used 7 feet of clear plastic tubing filled about 1.5 feet from the bottom of each line with gear oil. Once I made some preliminary adjustments (confirmed by a posting on the forum), turning the adjustment screws balanced the levels.
I'm not an expert here and wouldn't stake it all on this argument, but it seems pretty straightforward.Comment
