It's a hydrapump-crankumaticticometer cloning device.  :y

First invented in 1963 but due to high fbrication costs it never took off.

It's a pressurised oil way cleaner for sorting out the Plenum oilways.

Looks like some sort of pressure operated item....I am guessing its brake fluid related due to the tube of what looks like copper slip near the pressure gauge!

I thought about that, but went with the Plumum cleaner hoping a clue was the fact there is one in the same picture.

Ok... I will be honest.... half of the junk on that photo has nothing to do with it!

The orange cable is there because it got tangled up with it!  ;D

The pressure gauge isn’t actually plumbed in at the moment, and copper slip is there because I don’t tidying up properly  ;D

There’s a number of uses for this, however its main use (seen in action by a few members) is sucking the oil out of the spark plug holes - my rocker covers were leaking so much, I actually built this so I could clean them out every other week!

However a lot of the stuff people have mentioned on here like brake bleeding / plenum breathers is true, because I have used it for that too!

I have also used it to pump up my cars tyres!  ;D

Few peeps said it was from a fridge.... well, you were very very close... its actually the remains of an old dehumidifier!  ;D ;D ;D

Thats because my cars in bits... was changing the cam belt + rocker covers! and hence... I sucked out the oil from the plug holes AGAIN!  :D  :y

Mystery solved. A couple of you were right & a few more close. I told Ian i'd post it & see what interesting ideas your imaginative minds would come up with & it proved to be a bit of fun!
     Jue... I know you've had a long weekend with the fleet but phoning me up for the answer was never going to work!!! ::)
