Fuel Gauge for Christmas

[GaryKrahmer]

Hey guys... . Santa's going to bring my a fuel gauge for Christmas, but he's not sure if he should bring me a 0-16 PSI or 0-30 PSI gauge.

I plan on mounting it on the steering column.

The engine is stock for right now, but I plan on putting in a fueling box, 4" exhaust, Mega-Cannon air filter, and maybe some Stage II injectors sometime in the future.

Reading some post I see most members are running around 15 PSI at idle. Should I go with the 30 PSI or will I be safe with just the 16?



Thanks and happy holidays

I'm debating the same. My FP is currently 15psi at idle with a "fresh" LP. I'd like to see the face of the 0-30 but Geno's only show the 0-16.

If you plan on adding a pusher pump sometime in the future, go with the 0-30. you will need it



BTW the westach fuel pressure gauge will cause a problem if you try to mount it with the steering column mount.

Problem??

Bob... . what kinda trouble will I have if I try to put it on the column?

Would you recomend that I put it in the "A" pillar and move either my Trans Temp or boost gauge to the column?

This is why I love this web site!!



Thanks!
