hankosolder2 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm trying to monitor the fuel pressure in my '98 OBW. I have one of those fuel pressure gauges that's designed to attach to a schrader valve. I'm guessing I'm going to need a T fitting, a couple of bits of high pressure fuel hose, etc. Does anyone know of a handy/ cheap kit for this? Or can I kluge something together with fittings from Home Depot? This seems like it might work, though I'd need to figure out a way to attach the gauge to the center of the T. http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Gasket-2975-Pressure-Adapter/dp/B00093CL3M/ref=sr_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1314663268&sr=1-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Why? You can borrow fuel pressure test kits at the parts store with a deposit. I don't see the point of monitoring it "permanent". New pump is cheap insurance and cheaper than most quality pressure testers. Unless you are a professional mechanic I wouldn't invest in a pressure test kit. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_x_3150119-P_x_x?cm_mmc=CSE-_-Google-_-VALUE3-_-VALUE4&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=3150119-40252&vehicleId=40252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankosolder2 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I hadn't thought of renting one. Good thought. I do already have a gauge-- just can't connect it to the subie w/o a T fitting. I'm dealing with an intermittent problem and want to rule out loss of fuel pressure as a potential cause rather than throwing parts at it; it could just as easily be a bad relay or a corroded connector going to the pump than the pump itself.
