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.

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.

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.
