how many poeple are running a fule persure gauge

[NashMan]

well i have one on my afpr but i wanted one in my cabin but there so dame exp for them just cause of the sencer aka auto meter


now i cna do teh cheep root and run a macincal bolted to my hood but i just don't know one gauge on the hood whould look kinda funny

i find



so how mnay peoepl are runing them in there car or on there hood

I will have a greddy inside my car... eventually...

Yes, its amazing how much more expensive the fuel pressure gauges are. I cheated and bought an oil pressure gauge. I can't tell any difference between the sending units and it worked just fine. Only issue is that the gauge says "oil pressure" on it, but as long as you know what it is, what difference does it make? I used a single gauge with a 3 position toggle switch to flip between oil pressure and fuel pressure. Worked for me just fine for about a year.

Do what mmmatt said. I've also done that in the past. The wetted parts of an oil sender can handle fuel and it doesn't "know" the difference. Some oil senders have an orifice but since fuel is much thinner it usually doesn't matter. Switching between them is a nice idea too.

I'm not running one in the car but I have a quick diconnect on the fuel rail. The gage stays in my glove box and I pop it on whenever I need to check FP.

I've got a digital one in the glove box

hummmmm well i can buy the gauge all by it's self for pretty cheep

and the oil persue sender for oil are cheep hummm

i may have an idea

does any one know what the ture sender look's like that is if i bought the fule related one

cause i know the oil one is really ugly for where i want to put it

I have a greddy 52mm in the car.

I feel its one of the more important guages that a modified car can have.

yes. it would have saved me a BHG a few months back...on a fresh rebuild no less.

Falling Pressure switch hooked to a big bright idiot light would be better as it's often too hard to scan a gauge during a hard pull when things are happening fast!

that happen wiht every gauge thou

in less you are not lookign where you are going

Nash: LOL that's my point 100% I don't know about anyone else but I don't get time to scan gauges during a hard pull as things are happening so damn fast!

I installed a knock sensor with a really bright LED that I can't miss and use the RPM Limiter in my ECU in case I miss the tach but everything else is a blur!

Fuel pressure gauge by it's nature will bounce around a bit and this makes it harder to notice a problem and by the time you do it's too late and the damage is done!

A simple idiot light set to come on at say 10 psi below your operating pressure will bitchslap you that something is about to let go!

i've got one on my AFPR. eventually, it'll be replaced with a defi unit in the cabin. (providing that defi actually makes one, which i suppose i should find out)

well i want one but for now it will ahve to weight

but i got all my gauge mocked up and i think it looks realy good


ps no2 and fule persure will be donon mu later funny gas mode

for now i am spary on my ic

 

[IJ.]

Hmmm so hit the spray and have even less time to look at a gauge !
