Title: Source for Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter
Post by: tmsmini on May 13, 2021, 07:28:05 AM
Anyone have a source for a fuel pressure gauge adapter like this in the US:
https://www.carbuilder.com/us/fuel-pressure-gauge-inline-adapter-for-6mm-hose (https://www.carbuilder.com/us/fuel-pressure-gauge-inline-adapter-for-6mm-hose)

I am looking for a 1/4 inch adapter. I have a gauge and adapters I use for the injected cars, but I would like to test the output of the SU pump.

I can find lots of 5/16 adapters and versions with AN threads. Something with three 1/8 NPT female ports would do as I hopefully can find either 6 mm or 1/4 hose bard to 1/8 NPT somewhere.

It is not for a permanent installation.

yes, that will do.
I looked at our local hardware store, but did not think to check the orange place.
Also eventually found them at Summit as well

Yeah, brass is brass.
Grainger supply or McMaster Carr are also great sources for pretty much anything you can think of. Electrical, mechanical, hardware, etc. I even bought my door seals from McMaster Carr.
