Default 90 degree adaptor for Fuel Pressure Test Hose

Trying to get my hose on the fuel rail schrader valve is a PITA. I was wondering if anyone knows of a 90 degree fitting that will screw into the test hose and over the fuel rail valve? All I can find are 90 degree fittings with a quick disconnect on the test hose side.

This is from memory so may not be accurate - I think it is a standard thread (something like 3/8-24 or AN-6. I had a fitting that fit, and I was able to cobble together a pressure tester. I think I temporarily removed the inner Schrader valve during the test.

I'll probably be around on Saturday if you want me to check to see if I have something you can borrow.

I was looking for an adapter to keep on hand. I guess if the valve is removed for testing, that would open up some possibilities. I have of bunch of misc. fittings I will try. Thanks for the idea!

GM & standard Schrader I'm quite sure is .305 - 32 TPI (sometimes .302 is mentioned also and that I believe comes from a Metric conversion).



BUT this ain't correct for FI Schrader external. I believe the terminology for the FI Schrader is just "large Schrader".

Never thought of trying but a TSV-01 might work:
