OTC 5630 Fuel Pressure Test Kit , Black

Works well

Very good value for money. Very good construction quality. Brass work is real nice. Very nice rubber case around gauge. Gauge uses excellent clear labeling and numbers, an attractive blue and white color scheme. This tool told me in 60 seconds that I had good pressure (40 psi). Although it appear.s it is made in China, it has a feel and quality that seems like it could rival anything in the USA for the same amount of money. It has the OTC brand name, so I trusted it on that basis when I ordered it.The gauge itself is very sturdy and very responsive. There is no "lazyness" in the gauge, and it reacts to pressure changes immediately.I used it on my 1997 Ford F-150 4.6L, and I guess the schrader valve on the Ford fuel rail is different from some others. I read that this valve requires a special, smaller attachment fitting. The adapter fitting was included with this gauge, as advertised, and it worked well. Be very careful not to loose it. It is a small brass adapter. I am just going to always keep it screwed onto the hose.The only thing I would recommend they change is to make the hose a couple feet longer. It is about 2 feet long, or so. Plenty good for working under the hood, but not long enough to see from inside the vehicle while cranking or running.The valve body (the brass piece the gauge is mounted to) has a very nice schrader valve, making it very easy to release the pressure in the gauge or fuel line. There is a thin clear vinyl hose, appx 6 feet long, that carry's away any draining fuel. The vinyl hose has a bit of coil to it, from being wrapped up during packaging, but most of that can be stretched out, I imagine.Keep in mind this gauge kit is only meant to be used on schrader style test ports on fuel rails. It does not attach to injectors in any way, and it is not meant for "T'ing" into a rubber fuel line. It CAN be used in "T'ing" configurations, but you'll have to get all the hardware for the T section from other sources, and also plumb in the proper schrader style valve for this gauge hose to screw onto.The product does not come with any kind of case, which is fine with me, as that would have added cost to it. I recommend getting some kind of general purpose good quality plastic case to keep this tool in. I don't see why it can't last me 20 years or more, if I take care of it.Overall, I would rate this a 5 out of 5. Aside from a longer hose, I can't think of anything I would do to improve it.

Pros: Had no bells or whistles but was of high quality and the right price point for me. I used it on a 1997 Chevy C1500, 5.7 pickup truck without problems. The OTC 5630 worked well, had no leaking at all, The needle was steady and easy to read, the pressure relief valve is a nice feature, had quite a bit of hose provided for discharging fuel into a proper safety container. How to use instructions were also provided in the kit. Cons: I did not have any cons, the reason for 4 stars on accuracy was because I haven't a way to know just how accurate the gauge is however subjectively speaking I think it's accurate enough for me. I would buy it again.

Many people complain about how this tool only works on a schrader valve, and that is mostly true BUT 99% of cars built in the last 15 years have a schraeder style valve for this purpose. I work on mostly older European cars and it is either a schraeder valve or I have to splice into a fuel line.My only regret is not spending a bit more to get a gauge with a case. For some mechanics that is not a problem but I don't have a permament tool location so even a blow-molded case would have been nice (have to pay about double and get more pieces to get the case from OTC but it is also here in Amazon)The gauge is easy to read. The pressure relief is a must have, unless you like making a mess of your car. Well worth the money even for a shade-tree mechanic!

excelente producto lo recomiendo

Needed some diagnostic tools to add to my tool box as I've been trying to solve some little issues with my 2003 Chevy Tahoe. This comes with the fitting & adapter needed to test fuel pressure on shcrader type Fuel Rail setups. Simple 2 minute test let me know my fuel pump was working correctly & on to the next step.No leaks, no drips, simple install, test, removal, & pressure relief. Very happy...Only things to note is that there is no case included. Also, I'd recommend a little oil or some lubricant on the threads of the schrader valve or the rubber seal in the threaded adapter. Not meant for diesel engines as their fuel pressure exceeds what this is capable of reading. Easy on easy off with a good seal.

it works on my 2001 dodge ram cargo van

La calidad de los componentes no fue la deseada. No lo pude usar como esperaba, el manómetro no funcionó como debía hacerlo.
