Yeah! That's it! I actually first heard of this from a guy at a machine
shop who fixed an old motor of mine. He said he thought I should think
about getting myself a Sure Shot pressurizable tank to clean out the
motor when I needed to (and similar tasks). I looked at Kragen Auto
Parts, asked my mechanic, checked out a few other local places and
couldn't find anything.
Harbor Freight sells the Sure Shot itself:
