Fuel pressure gauge 200 1987

Could someone please tell me what parts are required to install a fuel pressure gauge? I'm having trouble finding the right T-fitting to use since the only ones I can find are standard.
I'm trying to find out if I have an intermittent fuel problem. Thanks!

Fuel pressure gauge 200 1987

Here's some info from Bill Watson which was posted here some time ago. It's an inline T adapter with a cap, that Bill leaves in the line, and hooks up his gauge to periodically. Some pictures have been posted too, but I don't have them handy:


Here 'ya go Alex. Opening the three photos in numerical order will probably make the most sense. I figure everyone can
find the right gauge for them, this is just the tee/tap into the fuel line.

These are all "Parker" fittings. You can find your closest store at www.parkerstore.com/ then click on "Parker Store
Locator" on the left. The three fittings cost a little over $30 total which is not cheap, but the savings of not
replacing the wrong parts easily saves that... plus the time savings of being pointed in the right direction - ie, when
it's ignition and not a fuel problem...

I probably hook up the actual gauge once every 18 months when something acts up and I'm trying to eliminate the good
items to find the real problem.

Excellent! 200 1987

That's just what I needed! So now all I need is to find a gauge with a 1/4 NPT outlet correct! Thanks!

When I built mine, I got a used fuel rail from a B230 at the pick-n-pull and used the fittings from that to build my own gauge which screws right into the existing rail and line. I don't know of any other source for fittings that are compatible.
