FUEL LINES: Help please!

quick89gt · 03-16-2001, 09:28 PM

Well, I guess I am officially an Idiot. I've never been more pissed in my life. Anyways, I was going to install an NPT fitting for the sending unit for my electric autometer fuel pressure gauge...and i tightened down the fitting too much and broke it off inside the shrader valve port. anyways, i have to get a new section of the hardened fuel line, but no one has one. and now, i have to buy another fitting too. does anyone know how tight to put the fitting, or if i should use teflon tape on it?? thanks a lot..."ticked off josh"
