Title: Measure K jet fuel pressure with this kit?
Post by: bmouthboyo on 30 January 2011, 21:36

Hi everyone :)

I am currently trying to sort starting problems with my K jet DX engine. I would like to measure fuel pressure to eliminate fuel pump problems etc.

Would this kit do the job?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fuel-Pressure-Gauge-Tester-100-psi-0-7Barg-Jubilees-/180617510998?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item2a0da48056

If not can anyone point me to a suitable kit that is good value.

Thanks :)

fittings are metric on the k-jet system so this wont work i dont think. some say bsp threads will be ok if you get the one which is closest to the right metric thread you need, some say they will damage the threads. in my view not worth taking the chance.
plus there is no tap which is required to close off fuel feed to the wur when measuring system pressure
