Chase Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Besides the ford pressure tester tool, what does everyone use to check fuel pressure on a 6.0? Changed shops and need to get one. I havent used anything but the Ford tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybullitt Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I have a brand new Ford tool if u r interested. I bought it on a dealer auction then other diesel guys left. I never used it. I see snap on offers a Ford diesel fuel pressure kit set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Any good hydralic shop can make a hose that screws into the test port. When I am working at home on one I use a mechanical gauge and drive it like I stole it. That's how we used to do it before that tester came out.

Bruce Amacker Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 The "E-Van" adapter works great on F-models, too. The head thread, HP oil (ICP) thread, and fuel test port in the FF housing are all the same thread, 12x1.5. On the pic above, the nut is just there for storage so the banjo doesn't get lost. Or get a spare HP oil fitting and grind the shell down a little so it doesn't hit the housing. M12-1/4F8OHGS Parker fitting Or MMFP121514R ¼” NPT female x 12mm-1.5 o-ring 1/8"NPT works better but I don't have the PN. Or spend $70 for an OTC 7443 You could buy a Rotunda 310-193, which has the whole deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 You know the schrader valve on the fuel line coming from the 6.4 fuel cooler? Steal that line off a core engine, I promise no one will miss it. Cut off and weld the line shut leaving the banjo and the schrader in place. With a spare banjo bolt and 2 washers you now you have a 6.0 fuel test port adapter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a bad idea... except I would cut it and find a compression fitting that clamped onto the cut end and run it into one of my fluid filled gauges. Which makes me think... I may have access to yhe correct banjo fitting that can be put on a hydralic hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
