Anyone ever see one of these things? Or similar?
I just need a Schrader to NPT adapter or something similar so I can attach my gauge (with Schrader end) inline with a fuel hose ala BMW.
If not exactly like this piece, I could use a Schrader to NPT adapter + 3 port NPT femail tee + (2) male NPT to barbed ends.

On what are you trying to check the fuel pressure?
If it's on your Ford, they sell an adaptor to adapt the Ford fitting to the flare fitting used on the test gauge.

only seen them in the kits, I have made it though from cutting up old fuel hard line with the fitting.

Look for "air tank valves" at McMaster.com
or

Did you ever get this worked out?
Do you have a male-airhose / schrader adapter?
I have a piece just like you have circled; but instead of a schrader, it has an airhose fitting, with a valve stem screwed in.
I may be able to lend you some parts.

If yu're still looking for an adapter like that, OTC sells individual pieces from their master fuel injection test kit that any Napa or Carquest store should be able to get for you.
Update: the OTC double ended T hose adapter is 5/16 on one end and 3/8 on the other. However they use a quick release fitting to attach their gauge instead of the threaded schrader type. The part number is 518480. hope this points you in the right direction.

I just bought a $25 Autometer motorcycle fuel pressure gauge and some fittings and built my own gauge. Plus is it's now installed in the engine bay so I can monitor the pressure whenever I please.
