I want to get a fuel pressure gauge to mount on the fuel rail to monitor fuel pressure. Anyone have any recomendations? Most accurate gauges? Either buy a gauge or a fuel pressure test kit. Input anyone?

 

I trust analog gauges a lot more than digital ones...

 

I've heard and read that liquid filled mechanical gauges weren't very acurate, Don't know how true that is because just about every mechanical gauge is liquid filled. Will probably end up getting an electronic gauge when I can afford it. but til then I'd like to see what I'm running at.

 

I run a electic oil preasure gauge off the fuel rail. It's about $200 cheaper and does the same job. No leaks after 4 years. I put a tiny label that says "fuel" over the place where the gauge says oil

 

Don't mount it on the rail. The vibration will ruin it in a matter of hours. I have a plug on my rail that I put a gauge to with tubing when I want to check it.

 

If you want a gauge full time, I'd get an AutoMeter that's intended to be mounted in the cab, but if I was just planning to use it under the hood, I'd get an EFI test gauge kit...if you shop around you can get one rather inexpensively since you don't need a whole master kit, but just the gauge and universal hose that hooks on to the schrader valve. I lucked out last summer and found a whole, new in box kit with two gauges, at a swap meet for only 40 bucks...those extensive kits can get into the hundreds.

 

I am running a autometer gauge, from the numbers that everybody says they should be, it is right on time with it.. It is a analog gauge..

 

x2. Works great.

Metco Motorsports offers the fitting to adapt this gauge sending unit to the fuel rail.

Jegs sells it. I hunted evrywhere at the time.....

 

Casper electronics also carries them..

 

Maybe longer, but it will break eventually. If you're lucky, you will see a drip and remove it. There is also the chance that when it fails, it will spray gasoline at 60 psi into the fan. That won't just start a fire, it will cause an explosion just like on every episode of the old TV show CHIPs.

I agree. When you get the AutoMeter, it can be read by HP Tuners, when you get that.
