Needle Valve for FP Gauge....

Hey guys - for those of you running needle valves in your FP gauge setups - where the heck did you get the needle valve???? I can't find any 1/8" ones. 1/4" and 1/2" I can find, but not 1/8". Finding the valve is almost as frustrating as listening to the gauge rattle.

I've visited every auto parts store in my area, Home Depot, Lowes, etc., and all I get is the deer in the headlights look.

Ace Hardware. The "home improvement" stores don't sell any parts to fix things, only to replace. Ace will have the part.

Well, I got the needle valve at Ace - took a couple of tries to find one that had it - and I've installed it. We'll see if it makes a difference or not - if this doesn't work I'm going to replace the whole line with a diesel rated rubber line - the way I should've probably done it in the first place, and it would've been cheaper too. Go figure.

Thanks for the help / recommendations guys...

It will still make the noise w/ the rubber hose, its has to do w/ the CP3 and the gauge not the line
