What's the easiest way to install a fuel pressure guage on a Radix fuel rail?

 

1/8 pipe thread on driver side rail. THere should be a plug in it.....

 

Mine had the service fitting there. I installed a brass "T" there so I could still have the service port but why would you need the service port anymore?

 

most fuel pressure tools will connect to the schrader valve for diagnosis reasons.

 

Yeah, I was meaning after the fuel guage install you wouldn't need the schrader valve. The brass T was a little ugly, not to mention I had to notch the coil pack bracket to get it to fit.

 

gotchya, I took mine off too once the gauge sender was installed.

 

I used some braided line and an fittings then ran it to the sending unit on the drivers side fender well.

 

Can anyone post up some pictures of the differant ways you guys are doing this. especially "Thunderwagen" way. I am installing mine next week and I wasn't to fond of having the sender unit just sitting there on top of the fuel rail
Thanks

How does your engine compartment smell? Most braided hose has problems with fuel vapor that permeates right through it. Makes me wonder what the fuel is doing to the hose. I had a few customers complain about it... especially when their ride is stored in the garage. There is new (non braided) fuel hose out there that works with the push-on hose ends that appears to not have the same problem. I think Earl's makes it.

I have my Maggie sitting on the bench ready to go in hopefully next week. I took the shraeder valve out... and am going to install the fuel pressure sender there that came with my Autometer Cobalt gauge. I'll hard plumb it out of the way if it interfere's with the coil pack bracket/coil... for me I'm not to worried about how it looks as long as it functions correctly.

Just food for thought...

Really? First i have heard this. Mine is just fine. Mounted the sending unit right on the fuel rail. I guess I am just lazy.
