Fuel pressure in cab

Post by **Jesus_man** » Tue Oct 31, 2017 3:00 pm

Looking at options for getting a fuel pressure gauge in the cab, on a budget. I see some very expensive options out there, but was wanting to see what others have done and perhaps someone has a great idea that I can use.

Aside from the ebay ones that come with a sender, I am not sure which way to go.

I bet you hard plumb a tube from the fuel rail 1/16ΓÇ¥ port through the firewall to a dash mounted fuel guage. The only issue would be a potential leak pouring over your hot motor or inside the cab. You would need a flexible vibration dampener too.

I have been told running a fuel line into the cab is a no-no.

That's why I was targeting something with a sender.

Use a cheap oil pressure gauge and sender.

I was wondering if that wouldn't work...

I wish I knew why the same idea for fuel is so much more expensive?

Another cheap option from Glowshift, $60 for their fuel pressure gauge.

I have their combo gauge in BSD for boost, pyro & fuel pressure, itΓÇÖs held up for 2 years so far.

Ironically, I found that exact gauge on ebay. Sorta assumed it was refurb'd, but apparently it's the same price on their site...

Might be worth the extra few dollars for stuff rated for fuel. It's the way I am leaning since anything else sold on ebay at the price has no warranty and bad engrish ads

I have partially installed this. Need to hook up the two power wires (12v and headlights) and I had to order a single gauge pod and I'll install it under the dash for now. Aside from the pod, I should have it working today.
