...procedure for fitting a schrader valve omitted...

a number of vendors are now producing fittings for SCCA fuel test ports,
and a schrader valve style is common. these ports are basically equivalent
to what you describe, but they're intended for permanent installation in a
race car, and if the quality is any good at all, they shouldn't leak. try
googling for "SCCA Fuel Test Port" and you'll find a vendor or two.

i can't find the vendor that the North Jersy tech guys like, so i'll drop
them a line and see if there's a web page. i remember that the array of
choices from that vendor was quite remarkable.
