Fuel Pressure Gauge 700 88

posted by  someone claiming to be Marlin Mangels on  Mon Nov 20 10:53 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Has anyone built & used the fuel pressure gauge setup that is described in the FAQ or have another design they would share? On the one described in the FAQ, I cannot understand where the 2nd banjo fitting go (the one with the nylon spacer on it) goes. I can visualize the gauge being being tee'd into the fuel line between the line from the fuel pump and the fuel distribution rail using the banjo fitting, but I cannot visualize where the other end of the hose would go. Any pictures or descriptions that would help. I'd even buy one, but my local parts store doesn't have one that will work on a Volvo.

    Hi Marlin,

    I just read the FAQ you mentioned. I don't have a good bone yard in my area, so I opted to buy some of the parts from Volvo. The message below is one I sent to someone a while ago. For me it was a lot easier than trying to create the whole thing from many small parts. This version below duplicates the Volvo gauge pretty closely, and uses only one banjo fitting. If you need more info, let me know.

    For my '87 240 w/ LH2.2 injection I built one using some Volvo parts and some auto parts store parts. First, buy a fuel pressure gauge setup from your local auto parts store. Be sure that the gauge goes to at least 100psi. Next, go to your local Volvo dealer and buy these parts:

    9995267-7 Nipple $27.45

    9995116-2 Hose $ 9.30

    The nipple is the fitting that connects between the rubber fuel line and the fuel rail. The hose includes the banjo fitting that attaches inline with the nipple. The other end of the hose is an unusual fitting that I imagine could connect only to a Volvo fuel pressure gauge. I cut that fitting off, and installed a 1/8" male pipe thread with barbed fitting pressed onto the hose. The 1/8" male pipe screws into almost any fuel pressure gauge found at any auto store.

    Being a cheapskate, I tried for a month looking at different hardware stores, auto parts stores, Grainger, etc. to find the unusual metric fittings needed to for the job. I had no luck. If you don't live in the U.S., you may get luckier.
