Fuel line question

Hey guys, I need an adaptor that allows for me to screw in my fuel pressure sensor to a fuel line. 5/16ths hose is correct? Can someone give me a picture or description of what I am looking for?

I called Summit 2 different times. The first guy told me they don't have any item that will work, the 2nd guy said I needed more info. There's a link to summit's 5/16ths fuel items below, but I need to make sure I order the right one. Any help? Thanks!

you got a pressure sensor and need to t it into your fuel line right?

did the sensor come with nipples? where are you trying to put it in? do you have a stock fuel system?

I ordered a fuel pressure gauge which I need to now hook up. My fuel system is stock. I need to tap under the hood somewhere. The gauge should be here today, so I can see what it all came with, if that helps.

I did it with a 1/8" NPT brass tee (all female ports). In 2 legs of the tee, I used 1/8" NPT x 5/16" brass nipples. The third leg was for the fuel pressure gauge itself.

it probably just comes with a sensor, you will need to buy some sort of fuel t for the line, and just put it inline the pressure side from the pump before the pulsation dampner.

That's my setup. I'm swapping in my electrical gauge this week. I'll just unscrew the mechanical gauge and put the sender in its place.
