Years ago when I worked in a garage we used to take the used motor oil and spray the underneath of the cars. We used guns like ones in the picture below....it is a vintage unit I spotted on eBay. Don't want an antique but would like to find one.
Have any ideas?
Great for spraying parking brake cables, fuel and brake lines etc.
-
Wow, I have one just like that. Use to have the larger Sure Shot sprayer. I use them for solvent and engine degeasing.
Sure Shot and Vaper sprayers go for $30-40. The little Sure Shot (more like your pic) goes for $80-90
Zep has one also.

Ed MSC has one like what you are calling the vintage one.

FYI: they are asking about $125 on eBay for those old ones...

You didn't say you wanted cheap ;D
-
Ed there is some on EBay if you search for pneumatic oil gun
-
Looking at the Sure Shot units....are they pressurized or use an inline air source?
-
Ed the 32oz sure shots have a valve stem on top (like airing up a tire) they last quite a while per charge. The small 24oz job, I believe may be inline air.
Nope, just looked it up. They both are valve stem type, says up to 200psi

Thanks for the offer...prefer the inline version and if HF has them as "vette59jdwl" indicates I'll grab one from them.
Thanks guys..

Why would you spray the underside of a car with oil? I would think that would make a gummy mess over time.
-
Ghost, I'm trying to think of what you would use one for, now.
My guess is they sprayed oil under the car thinking it would seal or protect against salt and moisture.
I worked in a gad station for 20 years and never saw one, of course I bet there's alot I have never seen.

Chopper you were a gas jock to. I got a job our local Mobil full sevice station when I was in 8th grade, quit in '78 to work for dad. Loved that job!. We had that old one Ed had pictured, we used solvent in it to degrease things (like rear tranny seals, wheel seals) and to clean the bay floors every night. We relaced it with the 32oz Sure Shot, they gave me the old one. That's the one I have now, somewhere.

Yes I was, Sammons. I worked at a Sunoco station. I started in 1975, a sophomore in highschool. When I first started working there I thought the front caliper bleeder screw was a grease fitting! I learned an awful lot there, went to tech school, worked full time for a Linc/Merc dealership, then moved on to become a cop. But, I never stopped working at that gas station. I finally had to call it quits when the station was sold in 1995. There were many, many nights when I would just go there to hang out. Lots and lots of great memories and friends. The gas station is now a minimart.

I worked for them for years after i quit on nights they were short handed or weekends, especially during harvest time. Yep it's a shame these pretty much don't exist anymore. Kids could get jobs there (usually summers) and learn a lot. Always liked screwing with the new kids. (Asking if they were sure they checked the rear diff grease on Toronados) and ripping on them for lying when they said yes. Loved summers working the drive. Great memories also.
