20326, What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by RxR_Eclipse, Apr-22-02 03:12 PM Ok so I looked around here localy today and couldn't find a good fuel gauge. Here is the question, can I use a oil pressure gauge? If I can't do that where the hell can I get a good fuel pressure gauge that goes up to 160 psi? | |

20327, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by Corbin, Apr-22-02 04:13 PM Jegs will sell you a FPG that goes to 120 psi. That should be plenty. If you value your fuel system, you shouldn't be running more than 120 psi of fuel anyway. Part # 741-15906, $35. | |

20328, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by toykilla, Apr-22-02 04:27 PM Save that $35 and get some injecters and run a sane fuel pressure. =] | |

20332, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by RoboTechDSM, Apr-23-02 11:10 AM It doesn't say whether mechanical or electrical. Summitracing.com also sells them. Does it come with all necessary hardware??? | |

20333, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by RxR_Eclipse, Apr-23-02 11:29 AM dunno if it comes with all the install parts, But I am pretty sure it is "mechanical". | |

20334, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by RoboTechDSM, Apr-23-02 01:17 PM I take it will work in a turbo kit fuel system. According to the website, "Designed specifically for use with NOS EFI systems." What other stuff will you need if the gauge kit doesn't come with everything??? Damn man, I'm kindda 'iffy' of running a fuel line inside the car. Shit might happen. | |

20335, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by dougie2, Apr-23-02 01:26 PM You'll need an isolator... it IS dangerous to run a fuel line inside the cockpit! Your other option is to mount the gauge on top of the hood so you can see it through the windshield. | |

20336, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by Corbin, Apr-23-02 03:37 PM This gauge is mechanical and I'm sure it hooks up using a 1/8" NPT fitting. It is meant for mounting right on the FPR. If you want to see it while driving...mount it on the end of a hose and tape it to the outside of the windsheild. When you are done tuning, put it back in the engine bay. | |

20337, RE: What Can I use for a fuel gauge? Posted by RxR_Eclipse, Apr-24-02 04:21 AM Yea I would never use it in the car! That is just STUPID! | |
