Shawn, you need a fuel pressure tester for high pressure application.
Canadian Tire has one that can be adapted to fit on the Vanagon. Connect to
the fuel line T near the distributor. The small screw in the T is for tester
connection. Remove the screw and attach a hose with a clamp, it must fit well
and tight. Connect other end to the tester you purchased. Test away
according to specs in the Bentley.
