Hello, I have an Actron fuel pressure gauge kit 7838. It has been used only a few times. The part that opens the Schrader valve has disappeared. I contacted Actron customer service and was told a replacement was not available. The complete hose was also unavailable.
OTC has a very similar gauge, and they also have no replacement parts. I tried several auto parts chains with no success.
After some research I learned the fitting is an Army Navy size 4 swivel with Schrader valve opener. I have been unable to find anything like this online. I would prefer to find the correct part for the fitting I have or even a fitting with a hose barb.
Does anyone have a source for a solution? I could improvise a machine screw vale opener but prefer a correct part. I am sure this is not the first one to fall out.
