FUEL LINES: Help please!
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"

You tighten it until it doesn't leak. I recently installed a fuel pressure gauge on the schrader port. If your fitting doesn't have an o-ring, than use teflon tape. When I tightened up my fitting to what I thought was pretty tight, it leaked. So just tighten it up until it stops leaking, and check it once in awhile.
