You could always go to home depot and make one, I did and it cost abt $10.00 to make.

yeah go to home depot, buy a plastic cap from the hardware section, some jb weld, and the vacuum nipple.
really easy to do.
hope that helps.

Yea you could make a manual hand pump version. The ones we use at our shop produce a smoke so you can see where the leak is coming from. hope this helps
