My tentative plan is to install one of the "prestone" type flush tees in
a heater hose above the spare, then use a brass female garden hose end
to adapt the pressure sensor or gauge tube connection and install it on
the tee in place of the cap.
  I'd like to keep the bleeder available for its original purpose.
