Hooking up fuel for nitrous on TPI
I know that I'm supposed to hook up the fuel 4AN line from the schrader valve on the fuel rail to the solenoid. But I also heard you need a special adaptor to hook it up, is this true? Or can I just hook the hose right up to the schrader valve and I'm ready to go?

You can buy the correct adapter or you can buy a "t" fitting at a plumbing store. That way you still have your schraeder valve if you need to verify fuel pressure. Thats always a very good thing with nitrous even if you have a low fuel pressure safety switch. If you don't have the low pressure safety switch and no way to verify fuel pressure you are running blind

So I can hook a #4 nitrous/fuel hose directly to my schrader valve without any type of adaptor..
the flair angle on the schrader valve will match the #4 hose?

What adaptor? the taper matches the taper in the AN4, just remove the valve insert (you'll need a shrader valve tool) and screw it on.

oh ok, so the taper on the schrader valve is the same taper as an an4, thats all I needed to know.
I've heard you need an adaptor for it. guess not.

Is there some kind of special T-piece so you can do both jobs?

Are you testing fuel pressure while spraying? If not why not just unscrew the line.
If you are then an -4 T and a femal to female gender bender, or just splice a fitting into your braded line.
