2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission auto meter fuel pressure guage?

[RolandJ]

i have an electrical auto meter fuel press guage and it gives crazy readings. And my friend has the same one and get weird readings it reads pressure all over and was just kinda wondering if ne one has had these problems, and if so is there a remedy before i go get a new guage thanks.

There is a lot of info on this issue posted on this site. You need a snubber for your electronic gauge to work properly. The pulse from the IP causes erratic readings.



I have an Autometer fp gauge and had to use a snubber due to the condition you described. I bought mine locally from a company that sells hydraulic equipment. The name of the snubber I used is Chemiquip. size 1/8 porosity D. That will get ya straight. You can find them online for under $10. 00

Autometer is aware of the problem, I'm suprised that your gauge did not come with one after all the complaints they must get. Mines been on for over 3 years with the snubber without a problem. You should get it fixed quick befor you ruin the transducer.

i put a snubber in when i got it but the pressure changes when i start the truck i have 18-19 lbs and it say a 30 min drive it shoots to like 25 moves round there if i shut it off an restart it its fine so thats whats got me confused

Did you install the snubber when you first installed the gauge? If you didn't, maybe the transducer was damaged prior to the snubber install. Try using a mechanical gauge to troubleshoot. I think Geno's sells them cheap. Maybe a problem with the FASS??

you need to mount it on a rubber line (with a snubber) not connected to the engine. If you dont you will shake it to death! I mounted mine to the fire wall to a big chunk of steel to act as a isolation block. The gauge movement is smooth!
