Need to check the fuel pressure on my WW Okrasa engine. Not sure how to go about checking the pressure. How is a guage inserted after the pump and before the carbs? The Okrasa has all metal lines so not sure how others are setting up the pressure guage.
Thanks

Check out last months issue of Hot VWs. There’s a featured article regarding Che king fuel pressure. As a bonus, there’s also a blueprint on how to make your own fuel pressure gauge tool _________________ 1947 Typ 11a

Hey, thanks, I think I missed that issue. I will see where I can locate that article. The part that has me puzzled is that with the metal Okrasa line going from the pump all the way to the carbs is how to insert the pressure gauge in line with the dual carb lines.

Sorry, old thread here. Does anyone have pics of the setup used for measuring fuel pressure that could be used in an Okrasa setup (hard lines). I don't subscribe to HVWs, so I have don't have access to the article RareAir mentioned. Thanks _________________ Vintage Classic Specialist, Orange, CA

I used this setup. A double length 10mm banjo bolt and an additional banjo fitting with a 5mm push on barb. All from Bellmetric.com. Hope this helps
