autometer fuel pressure gauge removal

[Mustang4119]

I see that it has the adapter that goes into the schrader valve. Do I need to get a new schrader valve for my 00GT? If I unscrew that piece from autometer wont it spray out fuel and has no valve like it is stock? I unplugged the gauge that goes to it and took out guage, but left that adapter sender unit in. Can I just unscrew it?

Yes you can unscrew it but you will need a Schrader valve to replace it. It looks like a typical bicycle tire air valve. Not much fuel will spill out when you unscrew the fitting and replace it with a Schrader valve. Just make sure you use a good sealant or it will leak. I used teflon tape rated for gas lines to seal the threads on my adapter since nothing else worked. Another option is to place a threaded plug in its place. You may be able to raid a wrecking yard for a Schrader valve. Those electrical fuel pressure setups are pricey, why are you removing it?

selling car and selling the blower. Ya i called ford and you have to buy the whole fuel rail?? What happened to my stock schrader valve when the person installed the gauge? I dont get it. Where can i get a schrader valve? i thought i could just unscrew the adapter and be done with it. Its not underneath it?

Nope, the Schrader valve is not under the adapter. You will need one OR if you can't find one just use a threaded plug to block the hole. No one will be the wiser.

I don't know the thread size so you would have to remove the adapter and go check who has a threaded plug the same size. Home Depot def does not carry a Schrader valve. You're in luck though. I have a spare from another fuel rail. If you want it for just the shipping costs PM me. Later.
