2.3L ('83-'97) Fuel Rail Valve

[oldgeek]

Got to seeing fuel coming out of the schrader valve on the fuel rail. I'm trying to find a replacement valve or a stem to repair it. What am I needing to get? I'm having a hard time finding one.

If the schrader on the fuel rail is leaking, I'm 99% sure it's the same as a tire schrader valve, the GM fuel rails use the same one... they're just deeper than a tire valve...

I get to looking about this. Found: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-external-engine/1622049-can-i-use-normal-tire-valve-core-fuel-schrader-valve.html

I had been wondering if there are any rubber parts in a core and what exposure to fuel would do then.

Conveniently I do have experience in this... just look at the valve cores you find to put in there, if they are white or red then they are perfectly fine. There's two seals in a normal core, one on the taper just under the threads and the other is at the tip opposite the threads if you push on the little pin you can see it. Normally they're the same color material and anymore I'm pretty sure Delrin seals are the standard instead of rubber and the Delrin is resistant to everything but UV...
