    Looking for input on good but not too expensive fuel pressure tester and fittings.

    Want to buy a new fuel pressure tester gauge, so looking for input on good working but not bank emptying options.

    Also what fittings do you use?

    Cool

    In FAQ's - CIS Tester-- I have two complete kits,, I bought another that is still brand new for $50, less than 1/2 the price they go for, now.

    Tool Aid 33865 C.I.S. K-Jetronic Fuel Injection Tester with Case , also 3420 without case or make your own.

    Cool

    Here is the kit I got for $50-still new never used, it exactly like Toolaid 33865 CIS K Jetronic Fuel Injection Tester with a few adds.

    Well .. you might want to go for a universal kit ...

    https://www.amazon.com/8MILELAKE-0-140PSI-Injector-Injection-Tester/dp/B0719DKFD7/ref=pd_day0_hl_196_5/140-6706776-1035703?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0719DKFD7&pd_rd_r= 3a99bb64-b720-11e8-92cc-43f4ba91da25&pd_rd_w=2kc4h&pd_rd_wg=eDO4x&pf_rd_i= desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=ERWWJEYH1CBWK991KCE9&pf_rd_s= desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=ERWWJEYH1CBWK991KC E9

    I bought the same kit out here in Aus about 7 or 8 years ago .... I had cobbled together an inline fitting with a pressure gauge to check the overall system pressure and finally had to accept I needed to check the control pressures as well and I found mine on the local ebay.

    This has a couple of piggyback adapters that can replace the banjo bolts on the main fuel line and the line to the top of the Fuel Distributor. It doesn't have the two way valve that allows you to quickly check the bleed down pressures etc ... but you can just reconnect the gauge to the appropriate line to check them .... just takes a little longer.

    All in all, I found it works well ... and with all the other bits I've been able to use it on other cars as well.

    sorry the pics are a bit crap but all I had to hand was an old webcam to take them.

    Cheers
