    I have used this reusable pressure bottle for linseed oil rustproofing, brake cleaners and many things/anything else that needs pressure. It’s a genius product concept. It sprays upside down.

    This linked product is only for nordics, but describes the concept fairly well in English.

    Spray bottle for refill, 650 ml - Biltema.se

    I see what looks like tire valve: do you pressurize it with an air pump?

    My question is, could you test those cheap TPMS sensors you just bought on line? :)

    Hehe,@VelvetFoot I have indeed tried this idea, unfortunately the TPMs sensor does not fit into this small bottle opening. Tried this exact concept for TPMs with a plastic pressure hand pumped bottle, unfortunately the pressure dropped (as expected) way to fast. :)

    Those cheap clonable Thinkcar S3 sensors worked great btw, broke the bead and cloned the ID. Now TPMs ECU is happy and has the same id as the summer tire (only did one so far)

    @Mendel Leisk Indeed, also works with a basic hand pump with the same fitting. The bottle has a working pressure of above 6 bars. I am very impressed so far.


    Save money and the environment with this compressed air driven spray bottle that can be filled with, for example, grease, brake cleaner, rust remover or other substances that are sold in refill packages. The compressed air is easily filled using a compressor or bicycle pump.

    • With one long and one short nozzle for wide or narrow spray. Works upside-down.
    • Volume: 650 ml (Recommended ratio air to liquid: 50/50.)
    • In aluminium.
    Operating pressure 6,3 bar

    ? Paint sprayers vents are seldom prepared for any liquid, phatty acids ie oils and high/low ph, corrosives and the like. This one is, it’s fairly expensive but worth it in my mind. Biltema here even sells five liters of refill break cleaner liquid for this bottle. It’s funny since people apparently love spraying a lot of those cleaners….
