Standing an LPG bottle on end that has basically had a filler and cap added to the end facing upwards and a (largish) hose adaptor fitting fitted to the end facing the ground. The cap on the filler has a nitto air fitting fitted and the bottle has been 2/3's filled with diff/trans oil. If a hose/tap arrangement was fitted to the lower end and air was hooked up to the fitting in the filler cap . would the air pressure push the diff oil up the hose and into a diff on a vehicle that was up on a hoist! Say 1.7m up in the air/ummmm head. Thoughts!

It could work, but i think it may push it out as a bubbly frothy mess tho", worth a try.

Sure it will work, in fact you can actually buy these of the shelf(not sure about NZ though)
i got the rattler gun and other tools from bgs when i was over there quality is as good as it looks on the stuff i got.

Just fill your cylinder with oil, and presurise the cylinder. (it will take 120psi no worries at all) The outlet hose should have a tube on it that goes to the bottom of the cylinder, and a tap on the end (smaller version of a fuel bouser hose for example) That way when you see oil starting to run back out the filler hole, you can just shut it off.

um. KISS, I use one of those 5 litre pump up spray bottles you get from Bunnings. Have removed the spray hand piece & hose and added a longer 1/4" hose and a 1/4 turn ball v/v with a short length of copper tube with a customised bend to suit diffs, gearboxes etc. So easy to use and no oil running down your arms like those horrible Groz syringe-type oil filler-uppers.

Myself & a mate used to have something like that for diff oil. We made ours out of an old refrigeration gas cylinder. Took the oem tap off / replaced that with an air "T" fitting with a new tape on 1 end for the oil outlet & a female air fitting on the other end of the "T" plus a pipe down the center of the "T" to the bottom of the tank.
We only needed something like 20psi to do the job ok & NO frothing.
