Fuel Pressure Gauge - Schrader Valve

[jmgtp]

The schrader valve adapter on my fuel pressure gauge broke. The pin in the adapter that depresses the pin on the fuel rail valve is gone - the gauge can't read anything due to not being able to release pressure from the valve.

So basically on the end of my gauge is a fitting that threads onto the fuel rail but can't engage the valve, since the threads are good is there an adapter with the pin that I can thread into it? Where to get it?

Try an A/C refrigeration shop like Johnstone Supply. They use Schrader Valves in that industry allot.

My first fuel pressure gauge was made using a gauge head with a barbed fitting and a disposable A/C refrigerant charge hose that attaches to the can. The port end is a perfect fit, but then again I'm not sure you can still find them since everything is 134 A now. I purchased an electric pressure gauge for in car monitoring to do away with that proceedure.

Can't Find Schrader Adapter

still have been unsuccessful in locating a new schrader adapter!

It is an Actron brand gauge and the hose with the release valve threads out of the pressure relief body so this is perfectly serviceable. Actron of course has every part of this unit listed for sale individually accept for the hose and schrader adapter!

Here is what I have, the red circle is what is broken and the green circle is where it comes apart. I've been looking online and locally for a month and can't find this. I'd hate to have to replace the whole thing, anyone at all have any ideas? Online source would be the best/easiest for me.
