Subject:      reccomendation for fuel pressure gauge
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

i am about to finish with my fuel delivery system overhaul.  i
installed new hoses all around and sent my injectors out to
cruizinperformance to get serviced.  they are coming back today and i
am excited to put everything back together this weekend since i have
not been able to go surfing since i first pulled my van apart 2
weekends ago.  it seems more than prudent to perform a fuel pressure
"leak down" test once i reassemble everything.  i am aware that
several FLAPS sell relatively enexpensive (~$50) mechanical fuel
pressure gauges, so i am wondering if anyone has any experience in
this realm.  it seems likely that whatever gauge i can find will come
with a non metric fitting that will not fit my fuel hose.  however, i
am hoping to complete this job tonight or tomorrow and would not like
to wait for some little adapter fitting to be special ordered.

does anyone know of a readily available gauge (and adapter, if
necessary) that will fit my 8mm fuel hose?  (yeah, i know it isn't
7mm... but this is what volkcafe sells and i trust them).

thanks.

Ben.
