Fuel pressure in cab
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. https://www.ebay.com/itm/52mm-Smoked-4- ... 2548.l4275

Re: Fuel pressure in cab
I bet you hard plumb a tube from the fuel rail 1/16” 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.

Re: Fuel pressure in cab
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.

Re: Fuel pressure in cab
Use a cheap oil pressure gauge and sender.

Re: Fuel pressure in cab
I wish I knew why the same idea for fuel is so much more expensive?

Fuel pressure in cab
Another cheap option from Glowshift, $60 for their fuel pressure gauge. https://www.glowshiftdirect.com/tinted- ... ure-gauge/I have their combo gauge in BSD for boost, pyro & fuel pressure, it’s held up for 2 years so far.

Re: Fuel pressure in cab
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
