Fuel injection rail Schrader valve Cap

[Pops96XJ]

First, I want to thank all in xjTalk for allowing me to join in on this forum. This is only my second such forum membership, so it is very new to me. I was not very active in the other forum. I did not find it easy to navigate, so, I just did not participate much. I'm asking all in xjTalk to be patient with me...I'm fairly computer challenged!!! Thanks again and here is my first post/inquiry:

The Schrader valve cap is missing on my engine's fuel rail. With my medical condition, I am restricted to doing only minor repairs, replacements, etc. The last time I had the Jeep in for servicing, I had the injection system flushed (about 2 months back). Just noticed yesterday the aforementioned cap was missing. Not blaming my mechanic's shop. They have been loyal to me and I to them for many years. They take care of any concerns I may have regarding service related questions/problems.
So, I just need to find out where I can purchase a replacement "dust" cap for the fuel rail Schrader valve (a.k.a. Pressure Test Port, Fuel system vent valve, etc.) I guess I could go to the dealership, but would rather not unless I have to! Thanks again, Pops

Any NAPA auto parts stored could sell you one. It is a common size

As for your part you're searching for, like Steve said, NAPA, or even the junk yard might be cheaper.

NAPA was a no go :-( Looks like a go-find-buy trip to some local junk yards. Then, if all else fails, a trip to a local dealer! I'll do what is necessary because I DO NOT like driving around w/o the cap in place, j.i.c. the valve core fails.
Again, thanks to all.....Pops

One other place to look. There are two sizes, and I am sure the valve cap is the larger size used also in the HVAC industry. They have lots of caps available, some in brass
