You would have to unscrew the poppet valve core to get fuel out of it and you would have to find the same thread. I haven't personally seen the threads though. I wouldn't trust it if the threads were as fine and thin as ones found on wheels.. I would be afraid of it stripping out or just working loose too easily. But, that's just my 2 cents on it...

In refrigeration we use 1/4" flare for our hoses, many of these connections will have a simple Schraeder valve in them. If you are looking for something that will depress a Schraeder core for gauge hook up let me know. I could also get 1/4"flare by 1/8" IPT adapters, or I am sure you can find them on line, check Imperial Eastman fittings.

I have a hose ordered from genos that is supposed to fit the valve.After reading up on this web site a needle valve seems like a good idea maybe i can connect to the end of the hose.if any one has used the Vulcan universal hose from genos let me know.
