I need to locate either a new brass schrader valve that goes into the end of the fuel rail, or the o-ring replacement for my current valve. I seem to have a leak at that valve that is getting worse every time I start the X. Removed it and the o-ring was shot. Anyone with a clue as to where to begin looking for a replacement would be greatly appreciated. The dealer wants to sell me the entire fuel rail, at around 150 bucks. Not gonna happen. I'll plug that thing up before I fork out that kinda money for a $2 valve.
 






Just a thought for a temp fix until you can get the right part: Can you put a cap on the schrader - maybe steal the one from one of your tires for the short term?
 






yup do the cap with some silicone gasket maker on the threads and it will seal it up.
use non hardening sealant though so you can get it back off.
 






Exactly

Exactly what I was thinking. But I'd much prefer to just put a new valve or o-ring on there. But I'm still hopeful someone will know where I can get one.
