Engine: 2.3 F/Inj - Schrader fuel adaptor - NOS Project

WookDog · Jun 16th, 2009, 00:33

Hi,

Bit of a project on the go at the moment. As the Volvo is no longer my daily drive I'm looking at fitting a nitrous oxide kit, out of curiosity more than anything!

Ideally I want to draw the fuel for the solenoid from the fuel pressure test schrader valve, rather than messing around with tee pieces. I'm aware that i'll most likely have to remove the actual valve part from the stem, but I'm currently a bit stumped as to the best way to connect a hose (preferably 5mm ID nylon hose). Are there any brass fittings that will do the job or am I going to have to resort to a specialist fitting from Wizards of Nos et al?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

why don't you want to use a "T" piece, it's the easyest way to do it, why make more work for yourself?
Sorry for not actually answering your question.

It's not that I'm dead set against doing it that way (and indeed I already have the kit to do it) it's just that with fuel lines i'd be happier working with threads rather than clips. Would also make the installation that bit more reversible, although I suppose cutting into the intake before the tb is pretty permanent!

If I were to use a T, where's the best place to locate it?
