ok

so i need some help on my FP gauge...i bought a set of STRi DSD SLM gauges...the fuel pressure gauge came with a sensor that has a male 1/8 pt threading

no problem right, nope, apperantly STRi doesnt provide the T line for it...so now i need to find one that will work...



per pic

pretty much what im looking for is for the center fittign to be 1/8 pt fitting, and the others to ba able to feed the lines to and clamp em...

anyone have question lemme know...but im at a deadline...and i need thise for my ish to work...help...

go to home depot, Lowes, or equivalent and get a Brass T with 1/8" ports and two hose barb fittings to put on the sides. Use thread sealant on all threads and install pressure sensor.

what size do i need the Barb fittings to be?

brass = no corrosion issues later on?

what size should the barb fitting be to fit the line?

ive never dealt with fuel issues besides swapping the walboro in... sorry

this uses a brass body/fittings so i wouldn't think it would corrode or anything. probably a 1/4" hose barb, then tighten it down with clamps, but if you can take a piece of the fuel hose into the store i'd do that and find the best fit.

and no worries on the questions chap, always glad to help

when you see it in person it will be easier to gauge what size you will need, if that helps at all

I bought a high pressure gauge and the "T" adapter in a package at advance auto parts a while back. The t part was brass and the whole deal cost about 20 bucks.The gauge was crap the first time so I took it back and swapped, good to go now!

[DALAZ_68]

Yes, the fittings you have listed will work great. I have the same things for my fuel pressure sender.

(125-4A) hose barb brass 1/4x1/8

lmk guys

Yep that will work fine, the only issue is if your male fitting is alloy, it will suffer from corrosion quicker as result of the chemical reaction between the two metals..

But I am talking years here lol...

I forgot to add, make sure your reg is plumbed in to the left of the hose in your diagram..

lol i figured corrosion would be an issue at some point...lol

wadda yah mean to the left ?

here is how i was planning on running it:

[btm88]

That'll work just fine.

[DALAZ_68]

and does 1/8 npt = 1/8 pt ?

is there a difference?

[sjbsuperman1425]

Dalaz, you pic doesn't make since.

fuel filter, fuel pressure gauge, then fuel rail. don't install in the line with the fuel pressure regulator.

[sjbsuperman1425]

that is how you want it. i should've just posted that a long time ago lol

[DALAZ_68]

since doesnt make sense...lol jk...

yeah i think i fudge that part up on my drawing... pretty much im goin to cut the soft line right after the fuel filter and and sandwich in the T fitting there...

i spaced out on the hardline b4 the FPR

yeah thats what i was planning to do...

btw i think i found all three fitting needed at summit racing . com... but im still wondering is 1/8 NPT and 1/8 PT the same?

[DALAZ_68]

i found this one as well...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MRG-2975/ but im wondering if 3/8'' is to big for the fuel line?

[meminto]

Yep that position in the photo is good, as long as the gauge is before the reg all good

http://www.nissansilvia.com/fo...54750

this diagram should help you out too

[DALAZ_68]

^ meminto ur a G!

so i just figured that NPT and PT on the 1/8'' is the same...

my last question would be

what size hole is the fuel line to get the proper hose barb ends for the fuel line ?

[sjbsuperman1425]

it should say on the fuel line, and if not, just take if off and measure inside diameter and you are golden

[DALAZ_68]

ima have to go with 3/8'' since thats what meminto's note say... :-)

[meminto]

Measure yours to make 100% sure, the detail in the diagram is all aftermarket, it was more to give you an idea of the position of the reg in relation to the flow direction of the fuel..

My lines are 3/8" aluminium, my stock fuel lines had a smaller ID...

Best bet is to measure the ID of your lines and send the details off to the company if your buying online, or take the line with you if your going into a shop..

1/4" ID hose sounds close to what was stock on mine..

[DALAZ_68]

i think im just gonna go to autozone and check out there filters and measure that way lol

[ca18detgabby]
