You need one of Uncle Kent's gauges.

Subject: [MBZ] CIS pressure gauge?

What do you folks that still work on CIS have for a gauge set?  I have
the HF Pittsburg set that has the fittings and hose assembly to do it.
I hooked it up and did not seem to get accurate readings. It almost
seemed like the pressure would go into the gauge one way, and not lower
when it should.  These have schrader valves in the fitting connections
on the FD and WUR, as well as the other ends of the CIS hose assembly,
and the hose assembly to the gauge and the gauge itself.  I have had
this set for a long time and figured it was a POS.  So, today I went to
HF and bought their new version of this that is now called Maddox.  It
has the same sorts of connections.  With this one, I am starting with
the system pressure and it shows below spec, but depending on how I move
the hose, the pressure rises to where it appears to be in spec.  Pushing
the gauge in further in the quick connect alters/raises the reading as
well. I can't be certain the reading is accurate.  This one also seems
to be doing the one way thing letting pressure into the gauge and no
out.  I have to actually remove the gauge from the quick connect and
press in its valve manually and it releases.  In other words, I just do
not trust it.

So, anyone have a set they recommend?

Looks like SC taps you for a $10 fee to enter an alligator hunting permit

Could be interesting. I wonder what I've got that would work out to shoot an

[MBZ] CIS pressure gauge?

2023-02-26 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
What do you folks that still work on CIS have for a gauge set?  I have 
the HF Pittsburg set that has the fittings and hose assembly to do it.  
I hooked it up and did not seem to get accurate readings. It almost 
seemed like the pressure would go into the gauge one way, and not lower 
when it should.  These have schrader valves in the fitting connections 
on the FD and WUR, as well as the other ends of the CIS hose assembly, 
and the hose assembly to the gauge and the gauge itself.  I have had 
this set for a long time and figured it was a POS.  So, today I went to 
HF and bought their new version of this that is now called Maddox.  It 
has the same sorts of connections.  With this one, I am starting with 
the system pressure and it shows below spec, but depending on how I move 
the hose, the pressure rises to where it appears to be in spec.  Pushing 
the gauge in further in the quick connect alters/raises the reading as 
well. I can't be certain the reading is accurate.  This one also seems 
to be doing the one way thing letting pressure into the gauge and no 
out.  I have to actually remove the gauge from the quick connect and 
press in its valve manually and it releases.  In other words, I just do 
not trust it.


So, anyone have a set they recommend?
