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.

something like this: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...24493%20306670

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.
