Use an old compressor from a freg. I have a high dollar Freon pump but
use the old G.M. compressor more.

Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the

order
of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water?

Preferably
110, but I can rig up a 12 volt supply if necessary.

The reason I say this is that I'm getting ready to pack a fairly large

number of
bags with used but serviceable engine parts (valves, pistons, etc.) and

I'd like
to put each part in a "baggie" (sandwich bag or equivalent) along with a

little
preservative oil, and then suck the baggie down with a football needle

stuck
into the top closing mechanism just before sealing.

Thoughts?
