I need advice on how to set up a legal fuel test port. We may run some SCCA events this year so I guess we need one. Any hints?
 
trying looking in bmw race cars. this past summer i asked the same question there and got a good answer! thread is still there.

Last year I was frantically trying to comply with this reg and didn't get much help. Finally I resorted to mounting a schrader valve on one of the fuel lines at the front of the engone compartment. I found this valve (same style valve as on a car tire) at the junkyard ina n older Volvo. Several other cars used them as a way for a technician to check fuel pressure. I've heard of people mounting a valve on the fuel retun line, but I was under the impression that it must be on the supply side of the fuel system. I guess that this is because a racer that was running illegal fuel (and managed somehow to disguise the smell) could hide a "clean tank" in the fender well and run the valve for the test port off of this. I could be wrong. Be advised, if you have a fuel cell, this isn't necessary. Denver( Kansas?) is supposed to come up with clarified language and even diagrams on this. JOE
 
Look at the Home Page of www.asedan.com under "Fuel Port" or something like that. It is a sealing on both end connector which is very safe, convienent, and proven. I have one in a carbed car, and like it enough to recommend it as a possible solution.

Numerous sizes, styles of hose connections (barb, SAE, etc), and feather lite...all aluminum with the only steel parts being the locking balls.

Jiffy-Tite is the manufacturer's name.

Hope this helps.

Good racing. Bill
