Digital BW, The Print

I would agree with Lon's method below. I would suggest two things. 
Clamp off all the lines from the bottles to the cartridges and the 
air vent lines. Small paper clips should work. Put a plastic sheet or 
tarp down in your vehicle first in case the worst happens.

Good luck and let us know what you actually do and how it worked.
