I think "Star International" is one name brand of such low priced test equipment available in various different coverage levels. The conventional method on Toyotas and other designs with banjo bolt fittings is to attach a banjo style adapter at the fuel filter. Unfortunately, the FF is hard to access (under the vehicle on 4Runners) for such a test. You may be able to remove one of the fuel rail banjo bolts (17 mm head) and check FP that way. The few times I've needed to do it on that chassis, I have used a predominently domestic style compression adaptor at the compression union where the fuel delivery pipe nears the engine, but I dread doing so because they are typically mashed together and the threads are so deformed that removal is extremely difficult. I would search out ways to use the banjo adaptor before trying that route. Frankly, I can't even be certain if the 1999 has the compression fitting near the engine like the older models of 4Runner. Toyota MDT in MO why are you checking fuel pressure? These trucks are not known for fuel pressure issues On Nov 7, 9:40?pm, jfrancis...@gmail.com wrote: > why are you checking fuel pressure?

However, you can still remove one of the fuel rail bolts and screw a gauge in there. A gauge kit from your local auto parts store should come with a "banjo adaptor" to allow you to do this. --scott Signature"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
