Ric -- Thanks for your offer too, but I think we might be talking about slightly different measurements. My gauge is also from JC Whitney (IIRC), and I think you're right that with the included adapters the supply pressure at the fuel distributor can be measured -- but I believe this is downstream of both the fuel pump check valve and the injectors themselves. I was trying to place the gauge (and shut-off switch) in the supply side of things between the fuel pump check valve and the injectors so I could deduce who was leaking. I've already done the hard part so I think I'll just press on (and won't mind adding the equipment to my toolbox) -- but thanks again. | ||

I bought two generic CIS testers from JC Whitney (GAK!) and it had all the fittings I needed to connect to the TR. I can send you mine if you wish. Email me your shipping addr. | ||

LUCH -- Thanks so much for your very kind offer -- I really appreciate it, but be careful -- I may take you up on it sometime  . I'm now fairly sure that the TR fuel fittings are of the DIN 7631/7647 family -- at least the 60 deg seat angle, the thread, and the general shapes match up well with the drawings on the Aeroquip data sheets. I've not found a small one-piece type adapter for this family, but since the presssure is fairly low (relative to the hydraulic world, not the gasoline world) I think I can make up some short (~1/2 m) tube assemblies with what I need on each end using Aeroquip's "Socketless" stlye fittings without too much grief (and I've come to realize that using a tube assembly may not be as cramped as trying to use a fixed adapter so I think I'm on the right path). I've asked www.hosexpress.com for a quote on the Aeroquip bits, but I've not heard back from them yet. Thanks again for your generous offer. | ||

Steve, If you can't find anything let me know. I own a hi-tech mold shop and can make just about anything. All I need is a sketch of the seat angles ( male,female), I.D. and which thread and pitch is where. LUCH | ||

Anyone know a source for metric inverted-flare fittings/adapters like used on TR fuel lines? My TR is sometimes losing fuel pressure overnight so I bought a generic Bosch CIS fuel pressure tester to do some diagnosis; however, the fittings on the tester lines are female M12 x 1.5P inverted-flares (and they include a male M12 x 1.5P to male M12 x 1.5P adapter so I can have one male and one female to "splice" it in to the system somewhere). The problem is that the metric inverted-flare fittings on the TR fuel filter are male M14 x 1.5P. Any ideas for a source anyone? I'm going to try stopping by my local Porsche/Audi dealer this PM to see if maybe they'd have some options (e.g., maybe I could cut-up/splice/adapt another line with an M14 fitting already on one end), but I've been unable to find anything on the web. |
