Mekanik Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm looking for a few more hoses and some adapters for our guage bar. Any web links on places that sell theese parts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHNO60 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 FOUND OUT SAME ISSUE. TELL YOU THE TRUTH WE USE A TRANSDUCER THAT PLUGS INTO A REGULAR FLUKE METER. HAS A SWITCH FOR BOTH INHG AND PSI UP TO 500 I THINK. WE BOUGHT IT THROUGH CUMMINS PART NUMBER 3164491. HAS LONG WIRE TO TRANSDUCER,WORKS GREAT FOR ROADTESTS.GUARANTEE YOULL NEVER USE THAT FRIGGEN MONSTER GAUGE AGIAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I also use a Fluke transducer (PV 350, IIRC) for most of my testing. I understood that Fluke had discontinued them but my MAC dealer was able to get me one within the last 6 months. It also removes the risk of pressurized liquids inside the cab. I think that some of the scope manfacturers also have transducers. The Fluke was $300 plus the couplers (I use the quick couplers that come in fuel injection test kits).

Mekanik Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 I hear you guys, but there is no way my boss is going to go for that. All I really need is a couple of those skinny hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I guess I am one of the few here. I have a Fluke PVT but I stopped using it years ago. I think its in pieces in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Personally, I thought it was a pain in the ass because I was always screwing around with adapters. The gage bar, while probably not extremely accurate has never let me down AND I like the fact that I can check two or three things at once if needed. I am thinking of making a custom gage bar so that I can monitor two points for pressure and one for vacuum/inlet restriction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Amacker Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I am thinking of making a custom gage bar so that I can monitor two points for pressure and one for vacuum/inlet restriction. Like this? Great minds think alike! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif The body is an old air brake manifold from a cabover IH tractor. It has multiple 1/4" FNPT holes bored through it. The coat hanger is (obviously) for hanging it from the outside mirror. PS: The nylon gauge bar lines should be 1/8", right? They should be available from any auto parts store as an oil gauge installation kit, right? I know I've bought them for $2-3 before with 10' of tube and brass compression to 1/8" NPT fittings. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Here is some information for bulk replacement tubing for your Rotunda fuel gage bar. Try Google to try locating a distributor... NYLAFLOW Type-T 1/8" tubing part #4TD2-52420 This is not a Ford Part # - it is --> S&L Plastics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
