testing fuel pressure on a '90 240 200

Hi all,

As I get more adept at working on my 240, one thing I'd like to be able to do is test the fuel pressure. My son's '83 has a Schrader-type valve for hooking up a gauge. My '90, however, does not. I've been told in other forums that the '90 fuel rail has an odd thread, that the universal gauge sold at the local McParts store won't fit, and that I need a special gauge. Neither IPD or FCP sells them. Any ideas?

Monty

    I got one many years ago which fits my 89 745. Look online.
    Some on this board have built their own using air gauges and junkyard parts (ie take the lines and fittings off a 90 Volvo fuel rail.
    BTW, are you sure that a Shrader fitting was on the fuel line of a Volvo, may be the AC line....
