Not really. If you have the needle valve opened just enough to make the gauge register even a completely open supply tube just does a drip,drip. Doubt if it even adds up a teaspoon per minute.

As far as diesel being flammable, ever try putting a match to it? It's very hard to get started.

Does anyone have a contact address and phone number for DiPricol? My isolator crapped out and leaked diesel fuel into the cab; luckily I caught it before it made too big of a mess.

I also have the Dipricol with the isolator and it has crapped out. I noticed a leak the other day and it was definitely diesel. No more antifeeze in the line from the isolator to the cab. No change in the operation of the guage though, still works like it did the first day I put it in. I stopped the leak and all is well, just a little ticked. The money that was spent on this thing it should have lasted longer than a year.

What is the max pressue on these guages? Cost? I have been looking for an electric 0-30psi set up - no luck. Anybody have any ideas?

Geno's has Westach FP Guage that goes up to 30.

Hey guy I just got the westech electric guage and it so slow, I 'm doing 90mph before it pulls all the way down to 6psi. So I think i'm going to a isspro mechinical to match my other gauges and for faster response. I was wondering where you guys are gettin ss line, I want to run it with out a isolator? thanks, Matt

gauges

I got mine from Wildcat Diesel with SS line . It came in a full kit. Fuel right to the back of the gauge. No problems at all. It comes with needle valve to shut it off if needed. :--)

 

[MDale]

does your gauge reponsed quickly?

 

[cgoder]

Right away. 13 psi idle,10 psi at 60, and stepping on it 7 psi. Responds that second. Needle valve just cracked open.
