04 CTS-V Shrader Valve??
I know I can't be the only person with this issue/problem. I have an 04 CTS-V with a MP112 on it and I just realized there is no shrader valve on the fuel rails? So without trying to reinvent the wheel, what is the common fix for this? I know I can get an assortment of fittings and plumb one in there, but just looking for suggestions on how others have solved this issue.

Looking back, that doesn't make a lot of sense unless you've seen it before, LOL. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Yeah I may look into tapping that fuel block piece. Just trying to avoid a collection of fittings to make it work. Can't believe they just didnt tap a rail to begin with???

Schrader valve are there for depressurizing the system. If you were going to put in a tiny gauge right on the rail, you could only check at idle and revving with no load, so you would be back to the original idea of installing a sending unit with a gauge on the inside.
Maybe we should be asking questions like:
How do you "know" you "MAY" be having a fuel issue?
Do you not have access to a scanner?

That's my point, there is no plugged hole in the system that I can just open up and install a gauge sending unit without either installing some fittings or drilling and tapping that block previously mentioned. Usually you can just remove the schrader valve and install a sending unit in its place. So in an effort to not reinvent the wheel I wanted to see how others accomplished this task.
