You can get it anywhere homie. Or make your own from your local homedepot or lowes. Go to the plumbing section and look for the brass connetors. Get a 1/4npt T. Then get two 3/16"" barb 1/4" npt fitting for each side. Then get one 1/4" to 1/8" npt adapter so you can put your FP sending unit on there. Probably run you about $10.

If you want a nice one with AN fittings and all, then summitracing or Jegs will sell you those.

thanks bro...ive looked everywhere around here i can think of EXCEPT lowes. couldnt find anything that would work. By the way, how is your turbo project coming?? and about taping the fuel line....where should i Tee it?? I know there is a little evap valve there...but anyway...let me know.

 

Hows my turbo project coming? hahah, thats been done for months now, since then already converted to 5spd as well.

T it on the supply side, not the return side.

Dixit, you think you could post a pic of where i need to T the line. I got the stuff earlier tonight and i want to go ahead and knock this 2morrow after i get off work. Ive been told to T the line in about 3 different places by different people. Any help would be appreciated.

 

A picture isnt going to help much cause alot of the lines are covered by the turbo piping and other stuff, you wont see a clear line. Basically you want the line going straight to the fuel rail that is closest to the firewall. The one farther has the FPR on it and that one has a line coming off it which returns to the tank. You can tell which one is the FPR by seeing a vacuum line on it. Both sides of the fuel rails has a FPR like thing on it, but the supply side actually has a fuel damper which looks similar to the FPR on the return side.

We are talking about the driver side of the car right?? (might be a dumb question but this is a first for me and i want to get it right.) On the passenger side there is a metal line going into the fuel rail but it looks like it turns and goes back into the center of the motor somewhere...This damper you mentioned, is it sort of toward the middle of the motor?? If so i think i know which im supposed to go for. Like i said i just need someone with some experience in this kinda stuff to help me out a little because this is a first for me, i appreciate all your help!! I think ill go out and snap a few shots with my digital camera and post them in this thread...anyway Thanks again Dixit!!

 

i know nothing about what u doing but for my mevi i got a universal t fitting from napa....sorry i cant give anymore info lol

 

OK...well i give up...ive snapped some shots of the lines under the hood. Now i know where the damn fuel rails are and all that good stuff...i just cant figure out what line i need to T for my fuel pressure guage. Anyway..heres a few pics.










Now if someone could let me know which line to T by photoshopping a circle or X on it or somethin to let me know. Or at least tell me where to look other than/around whats pictured...Thanks in advance!
