fuel pressure sender location

[AndyMac]

hey guys,

just got my speedflow fitting to mount the send for my in-cabin fuel pressure gauge. Just wondering where the best place would be to measure pressure from?

I was going to use the -6 fitting for the bottom of my pressure regulator. Is it going to give a reliabe reading on the return fuel pipe below my reg?

no
what kind of afpr? do you have multiple ports on the pressure side?

 

[AndyMac]

hks fpr....

it doesnt have a port for a gauge, hence why I am running one into the cabin.

where should i be mounting the sender then?

 

[AndyMac]

anyone?

Not 100% sure what your asking, don't know what the HKS FPR has. But whatever you do if I understand this part, is don't run a mechanical fuel gauge into your cabin. Period. Good way to get cooked.

my solution - Banjo bolt fuel pressure gauge

 

[AndyMac]

its electrical...

they make a -6 fitting that can be put inline of a steel braided hose. The fitting has a 1/8 npt hole for the sensor. do not put the sensor after the afpr. you can put it in the out hole of the afpr then put the fuel line in the fitting.

you can use the banjo bolt as above or order a 14mm x 1.25 to -6 fitting and hose and hose ends to plumb a line to the sensor.

if you dont use the cold start injector feed you can use that hole. you could drill it out to 3/8 and tap it if you have the tools then put in a 3/8 to 1/8 npt adapter then insert your sensor in the hole. of course you would have to remove the fuel rail and clean out filings.

the afpr should have a port for the fuel pres. gauge, put the sensor in there...
it needs to be BEFORE the FPR to get an accurate reading
