Anyone here used the Motive Power bleeder on the pathy? Just wanting to make sure I have the right size.

I have been looking at power bleeding my brakes. I have looked at several units and even tried an old master cylinder unit, but it wouldn't seal. I have decided to make my own.
I have a large peanut butter tub and drilled a couple of oles for the bleed pipe and the vacs inlet. Getting a good seal is the critical factor . I tried it yesterday to pull water from a coffee tub and it worked great. I would suggest some sort of vacuum control as the shop vac is very powerful and would be a challenge to keep fluid in the master cylinder. 2 person job .
I believe the bleeding sequence is all important . Disconnect -ve terminal. start at rear passenger wheel, front drives, rear drive side and last front passengers. If this is the wrong sequence please correct.
Cost $0 as long as you like peanut butter.
