Vacuum line plugs

A quick/cheap way to plug the small to medium vacuum lines when working on a motor is to use golf tees.

Vacuum line plugs

Yes, and I try to NOT use bolts because the vacuum can leak past the threads.

Woodscrews and bolts will work IF you get the hose up past the threads so the smooth shank seals the tube.

Thanks for using FTE!
