Default How do you guys check fuel pressure with aftermarket rails, an lines, and regulator
I just got done installing AN lines, fast rails, and adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Then I realized how do you check fuel pressure with no Shrader valve now? Any help with this? Do I need to install an inline gauge?

My return port on the bottom of my aeromotive regulator is 6an. I install and inline pressure tap 6an fitting with the 1/8 pressure port and check it with manual gauge.

My regulator has a provision in it for the electronic fuel pressure gauge.

My Y block feeding the rails has a 1/8 port on it which I have the sender for a gauge screwed into.

I found a shrader valve that screws into the 1/8" npt pressure port on the Holley regulator.

DieselOrings is where I got it
