Can't test the fuel pressure with my innova fuel pressure gauge. I need a low profile 90 degree adapter. Was told to use and R12 90 degree adapter but that wont work with the tight area with the electrical harness above the fuel rail Schrader Valve and the upper intake. Do you know of what will work so i can test my fuel pressure it needs to be a very low profile adapter. Its so tight evey adapter i have tried is not low profile enough to fit and be out far enough 90 degrees to get the innova onto the fitting. (2001 ford excape XLT 3.0 4x4 ) Thanks in advance! MM

LOL, yep what a design!! You will need to interrupt the fuel line input to check the fuel pressure here is a video to help show you how.

KOEO / key on engine off: about 55–65 PSI
Running / under load: should generally stay in the 55–65 PSI range
At idle: should not drop much below about 55 PSI

Let me know if you need anything else.
