I got a newer radix kit recently and want to install guages is it OK to take fuel pressure from the port on the fuel pressure regulator
it's the brass colored pipe plug below the white arrow in the pic


I'm not wanting to use the schraeder method

ps thinking about remote mounting the pressure sensor on an autometer
3227 -4an braided hose





what say yee fussy britches

 

Get an adapter, and remove the shrader valve from the fuel pressure test port. It's towards the front of the left fuel rail. Hook it up there instead.

 

I was inadvertantly editing my post to say I didn't want to use the schrader
..............right about the time you were typing

I don't have to buy a trick shcraeder fitting if I use the port on the regulator anyone use this port

I know the earlier radix didn't have this port

 

That port looks to be on the return side. No bueno. You want to measure the regulated fuel pressure, you want to know the pressure in the rail.

You can buy a fitting at your local Parker store for less than 10 bux.

 

looks can be deceiving, I don't have a flow schematic for the this fuel manifold
in front of me but I find it highly unlikely that they'd go to the trouble of machining threads for a pressure port on the return side

I've called magnuson and spoke with 3 employees none of whom answered the question

" is the port in the fuel manifold for a pressure gauge "

 

Yes, looks can be decieving. That's why I have 2 ex-wives.

You may have to try it to find out. Post up the results!

 

If your thinking of remote mounting it on a -4 line it will thread right on to the schrader port. No info ofor you on the other one

 

Ditto. The Schrader valve male is a -4AN. Just remove the Schrader valve and attached the Autometer -4AN line.
