Wow! That's one well loved Safari!

Even your nifty gizmo would be too slow for me. I have a small pancake compressor in the shop, with a long piece of tubing on the nose of the air gun that reaches down into any barrel or cap.

heh. it's a knockoff, nicknamed Pripyat pen (or Nudie Banana.) I do not believe this setup is much faster than regular air drying, I'll run a test or two to check. The fan is rated for 12V so it's likely running slower on 9V.

Reminds me of the smoke generator I made to test for vacuum leaks in my car.

It still looks well loved regardless of who made it. :)

Smoke generator... Doing that now with our orange Soul. It would have to be the expensive parts that involve dropping the fuel tank.
