OTC 5630 Fuel Pressure Test Kit

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.

I suspected my fuel pump was bad in my Mustang due to a crank and no start situation. I was faced with having to have it towed to a shop and paying a diagnostic fee plus repairs and labor. Instead I sprang for this gauge and followed the instructions included, which are very straight forward. Ruled out other issues that cause a fuel pump to fail (looking on Mustang Forums and U Tube). The gauge test showed no pressure and I replaced the fuel pump. Cranks and runs beautifully with great fuel pressure. I figure what I save in repair costs more than offset the price of this gauge. The gauge is well made. I've see higher end gauges, but for the DIY'er it is all you need.

Works as described. For the money it is a good tool at a decent price. The first time I used it I did notice fuel leaking around the pressure release button when I would depress it to bleed off the fuel pressure. Other than that, it should work great for my use.

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.

Works well

works as it should

OTC 5630 Fuel Pressure Test Kit Study gauge construction with a shock resistant case and an adapter that makes enables its use on Ford & GM vehicles. There is one serious short coming. The connector that attaches to the fuel rail’s schrader valve is simply a stamped and cupped brass disk. On my third or fourth use, this disk collapsed and wouldn’t open the Schrader valve on the fuel rail, rendering the tool useless. I managed to complete the job by reshaping and soldering the disk and eventually filed a brass screw to replace the disk. Replacing the disk would have made a more robust tool for a few pennies more. A longer hose would be helpful and is required for on-road testing. Don’t bother using the tygon tubing to drain the fuel pressure. The small volume held in the gauge & hose can be drained down the side of a can, without it splattering. Three stars due to the cheap disk in the Schrader valve connector.

Needed a fuel pressure tester for work. Needed to do a fuel pressure test on a 2007 Silverado, I didn't want a fuel pressure tester that was overly expensive but didn't want something that was cheap and inaccurate. I thought this one was a good fit because i have other OTC tools and thought this would be work. When i received the tool, i noticed one thing is only comes in a package and no case. I like cases so the tool doesn't get damaged and clean, i used the package for a while but getting some fuel in the package eats the cardboard so that ended quickly. However the tool itself, i do wish the tool had some adapters for other makes and models. The screw type worked in my application but not all vehicles used that. I tired using the screw type on a ford the the threads were different. This tool doesn't have the ability to add adapters so somewhat limited to specific vehicles. For most Chevrolets this will work. Otherwise for others i cannot say. I can say though this is fairly accurate, it's a decent tool and built well i have had no problems. If your looking for a universal tool i would look else where, this is still a decent tool and happy with it as of now.
