how to connect pressure gauge to fuel line

2009 toyota corolla 1.8L

How can I find connectors to tee in a pressure gauge to my fuel line?

The fuel lines are pipes so it's not possible to cut one to tee in.

Below are instructions from the service manual.

A google search on part numbers in bold, 09268-31012 and 09268-45014, show these are gauge sets that cost about $450 and up.

How can I find connectors that will work with my fuel lines without spending a fortune ?

I made several - a bolt and a couple of suitable nuts, drill and solder... made several for oil pressure gauges back in the day.

To the closer-voters: this is really about the tools useful for diagnosis, not so much about shopping for them. I think it's on-topic.

Not really a problem to use a tubing cutter to cut a metal line anywhere you want. You will need a flaring tool or good compression fittings to connect a "T" for a tube to the gage.

two more links that may help others, this video illustrates separating a toyota fuel line youtube.com/watch?v=fC6gK9x8p8k and this photo shows coupling someone constructed for a pressure gauge, viewing this photo lead me to guess the pressure gauge i linked above may work youtube.com/watch?v=fC6gK9x8p8k
