Post Schrader Valve... Where? Tech question...

Hey, guys:
I'm installing a fuel pressure safety switch.
The installation manual refers to a Schrader valve that needs to be removed. My question is:
Is this valve the one located on the left side/center fuel rail and does it require teflon paste at reinstallation?

Thanks...

Cool

Not sure about the location of the Schrader valve but I do know this. Don't put ANYTHING on the valve when reinstalling it. Modern Schrader valves already have a teflon or rubber seal built onto the end. You'll see it when you pull it out. Anything you would add (goop,tape) could cause it to malfunction.

Thanks Guys.

To relieve fuel pressure, you unhook the switch(inertia) from pass. side kick panel and crank for 15-20 seconds... Sound right?
Just trying to avoid a mess....

Thanks again.
