  • Fuel Pressure gauge?

    What kinda Fuel Pressure gauge do you all use? Or how do you check your pressure? I got a tool from Harbor Freight but have yet to use it, dont even know if it'll work..

    I use a Snap On gauge. you hook it up to the fitting usually on the fuel rail of any car and either turn the key to run or turn the car on. when done, push a button on it to drain the fuel from the lines in the gauge. you can do the same thing but keep it hooked up to relieve fuel pressure in the system or get a fuel sample.

        i was kinda thinking of getting a real time fuel pressure gauge that would complement my A-pillar pod. Just so i can see fuel pressure all the time

              which is more accurate mechanical or electric? I think I heard mechanical was best.

                mechanical is better, but is not safe to run into the cabin.

                    mechanical runs fuel to the gauge, so if you have the gauge in the cabin and then something comes loose, you got fuel pouring all over ya. ;)

                    Mine is an electrical one and it works great

                      I am really having trouble finding the adaptor I need to make this gauge work, I need a female to female -4an fitting I am pretty sure.

                      anyone know of any?

                          I got it through my supplier. ;) Hooking it up was easy with my wet kit for nitrous. I just put it inline with the fuel line going to my solenoid. If you want a price let me know what kind you want and I can check into it

                            I dont know how hard it is to rig in a mechanical(I want to put it into my A-pillar pod).
