While messing in the engine bay today I came across this, can anyone tell me what it's for?

Was next to the inlet manifold and throttle body, I mean what the blue screw cap is connected to!

Fuel rail bleed valve?

Yup, it's the fuel rail, I know that 'cause thats what the guy attached his Terraclean machine to.

its the Schrader valve on the fuel rail, you use it to de-pressure the fuel rail or testing the pressure

thats wierd, i got a straight threaded joining tube thing in my wizards of nos kit that fitted it.
so if you had the connection on the fuel rail it was the easy option - just take the inner valve piece out with a tyre valve tool(same size) and away u go.

ah i didn't buy a complete kit like that, i sourced everything individually but still did look for a fitting with no luck (might have to have another look now, just in case lol)
