Fuel/air gauge setup

[Turner326]

Looking for advice on fuel and air gauge setup. I set up 2 gauges with 2 brand new filled gauges. The weak part is the hoses I got for them. I guess they were only rated for air and after using them a couple times they are leaking at the shradder valve connection. Has any one found good fuel rated test hoses and connections to use? Or do I have to just bite the bullet and buy a fuel tester kit and just put my filled gauges on it? Thanks

Make up you own hoses with #3 or 4 steel braid hoses with 1/8 pipe fittings for ends, then get the quick disconnect fitting that work with adaptor hoses you get or have.

Thank you Leon. That's what I did but now my quick connect ends are leaking already. It looks like there is a little o-ring in there that the fuel has deteriorated. Do you have any suggestions on what brands I should be looking at? Thanks

I think Leon told me where to get them. Sorry I forgot what he told me

Ok thanks for the help I will look into it. Thanks

Make sure you're not over-tightening the fittings. Also make sure the shrader valves aren't stripped at the ends (if they are, they become a round razor that finishes off seal after seal).

Very good point. I will take a look next time I'm down there

Which gauges did you end up going with?

I will have to look. I work for a natural gas company and they have brand new filled gauges that they throw away if there more than a year old so I was able to grab 2
