Can anyone recommend a Y or T Fuel fitting? I have a BG Regulator with 1/8" NPT female threads for a gauge. I want to run the gauge at the regulator so I can see the pressure while making any adjustments. I want to add a steel braided line to a second gauge mounted on my cowl so I can monitor fuel pressure while also in the seat. I found this one but I don't know if it will work...

Thanks

Sure it will work. Anything with pipe threads can be adapted to just about anything - including AN fittings - per Hemi-Freds example.

you can use one end of the T for the AN fitting and the other just have a nipple be screwed into
the gauge

Thanks Fred. I was checking out the second one you have a pic of but the regulator has a hole with 1/8" NPT female threads in it where I just spin in my gauge. The female opening in that fitting would take the gauge but it looks like I'd have to adapt it down to fit into the regulator? Anyone have an engine pic handy that has this setup. I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible with the least amount of fittings.
I need to head down to ATCO soon after I work out all these little fine tune issues.
