Clark from F1 motorsport did this a while back. He did this on his 3GS. One of his post, he mentioned putting sensors in a pressurized canister, but everyone ignored that.

Great work for sharing this with everybody.

I have no idea wtf that is, but if it fixes TPMS, i hope you show us how to do it too! I might need to know in the future when I plan to change my rims.

Don't try to cross the border with that thing (Canadian at least). Good work, perhaps over-engineered but hey if it works it works.

How about a refillable aerosol spray can? one quick search yielded this item
http://www.nextag.com/60486443p/zz2zB4z23/prices-html
It says it can pressurize up to 50 even 90 PSI.
All you got to do is find a model that you can stick the sensors in.

I just don't know if the air will leak after an extended amount of time.

I only have less than $20 invested in it not including the paint

How did you mount the sensors in the PVC pipe? Did you just drop them in, tape, glue them so they are secure?

Also, can't you just put all 4 sensors in one PVC pipe instead of having 4 separate pipes?

that container has all 4 sensor in it........I went to home depot and bought the industrial velcro and put 3 long strips lengthwise and then put small strips on the sensors themselves so they stuck to the sides......what a pain that was....mainly so it wouldn't rattle
