fuel pressure gauge

[KVoigt]

Which is better mechanical or electric? I am getting ready to get the rest of my gauges, fuel, rail pressure, putting them on steering colmn.

i have an electric one. some people have had problems with the sending unit going out due to micro pulses from the cp3. if you run a rubber hose to the sender you should be fine. there are lots of posts on that. i just dont like isolators, which you would have to use to run a mech guage.

I have an electric, I don't want to mess with fuel in the cab or isolators.

Mine is in a rubber line between the OE canister and the CP3.

I prefer a mechanical one with an isolator. Have been running the same one since 2003

with no problems.

I have used a Westach electric sender attached directly to the bottom of the fuel filter housing using a special banjo bolt. I have 140,000 miles on this setup. I didn't like the idea of a mechanical isolator either.

I've had mechanical gauges without isolators without any problems for years. With a decent gauge and braided line you shouldn't have any issues. I also installed a Needlevalve at the CP3 with the line hooked to the valve so that i can turn the fuel to the gauge off in case. Napa part # WH6820
