anybody install a fuel press gauge
just want to know where you installed the sending unit?
|
..what engine?
|
4.0l sorry
|
On the fuel rail. On the back left of the engine on the fuel rail there is a shrader test valve that the fuel pressure sender is attached to. Its a bit of a pain to get to on the 4.0. I've installed a couple different ones on my truck if you have any more questions.
|
theres another shrader valve on the rear? i see one on the front. i will take a look.
|
i dont think so. its a 4.0 sohc. 2008. the fitting with the gauge dosent work. so i ordered a ford fuel rail fitting from autometer hoping it would work but its the same size as the shrader valve. 1/16 nptf male ford fuel rail adaptor...3280 is the part #

nobody has done this?
|
Man I wish mine was on the front!
Mine is on the back passenger corner. I cant get to it with the blower on it, so I have yet to hook it up. |
ya its nice that its on the front but i have nothing to adapt to it.

Summit Part
I'm 90% sure that's the fitting I used for mine. It screws on the shrader valve and adapts it to a 1/8th NPT which is the same as the fuel pressure sending unit that I have. Then I just got a double female connector from the hardware store. |
thats what i am looking for a double female. i will take a look at the hardware store. i dont have anythig at work that size.
|
no fitting at home depot. where did tou find the fitting?
|
That fitting has a 1/16NPT. most hardware stores aren't going to have that small. Check an autoparts store, might get luck there.
|
Once I used the above listed fitting, I used a double female fitting of 1/8 NPT. My local hardward store had several different ones to choose from. 1/16 double female will be far more difficult to find.
