Fuel prerssure gauge almost F@#%!!!
Ok! When we pulled over for gas Saturday my son and I could smell some gas fumes. Ok so we started to look around under the hood and finally saw some on the intake back by the fuel pressure gauge. Ok here we are and no tolls went in and the lady at the station gave us a 12" cresent wrench to try and tighten the fitting up did get a little pull on it and as soon as the key was on we had a gyser it would shoot up about 4" O @#@#$@% 
. Shut it down wiped up all the fuel and did it again. O@!$@#$$ . OK this time when we wiggled the fitting the damn thing fell off, found that it had been cracked.
OK HERES the BIG Question?? Is there any other type of fitting that will fit on top of the shrader valve or replace it. The one we had was chrome plated over brass with 2 female fittings in a 90deg shape and is just like the one in summit. Is there any other type that will just fit in and then screw the pressure gauge in? Well we made it home any way with the help of a Bud Bottle cap and my knife (real McGiver)
, no leaks but need to get it replaced. Just a note WATCH IT you have the same type. wro87
