49785, 1 1/2" Mechanical Autometer Fuel Pressure Gauge - any good? Posted by Attrayant, Jun-01-03 10:29 AM Hey, is anyone using these small fuel pressure gagues that mount under the hood in the engine compartment? On www.jegs.com its part #105-2180 There only $30 for the 0-100psi. My problem is that I cant afford the $200 Autometer Ultralite Elec 100psi gauge right now, and I know the one HRC includes in its kit is not for permnament use. Wondering if it would be fine for at least alittle while. TIA! | |

49787, RE: 1 1/2 Posted by etx, Jun-01-03 12:27 PM yo. i been using one for a few months, it works great. I put some electrical tape around the outside to keep the condensation out. | |

49789, RE: 1 1/2 Posted by dougie2, Jun-01-03 02:45 PM I use the Summit Fuel Pressure gauge (1-1/2"). It's liquid-gel filled to prevent condensation and resist vibration. It's 0-100psi at 2psi increments... works great! | |

49806, RE: 1 1/2 Posted by etx, Jun-02-03 05:12 AM I'm sure you can mount it wherever you want. I have mine on a piece of fuel line sticking out of the hood so i can watch it while i drive. | |

49916, RE: 1 1/2 Posted by techboy, Jun-04-03 09:57 AM I have the summit one as well and it works great. Liquid filled and all just as described above. I'll post up a pic for you tonight if I think of it. I made a custom bracket and mounted it on the firewall just behind the TB. | |
