I didn't include all the conversation from shop-talk. One suggestion was 
to use a tire valve stem to make the connections in the center of the MC 
cap (cover the air vent) and the garden sprayer. Then remove the valve 
stems.

Just a thought -- you may still be correct. I bought a Mity-Vac but 
these guys say the fittings leak, and pressure works better than 
suction. Based on your comments, I'll be sure to try my Mity-Vac before 
I build this.

More thoughts/experiences?
