Well, I have had both.



I have liked the mechanical types for their "reliability" without electricity sources to make them work.



I have enjoyed the electrical types because they are just as accurate and a whole lot easier to install.



Mechanical:

. Pro- no wires, always work, usually always accurate unless over stressed

. Con- tubes can wear thru if rubbed, connections can leak at the guage making an awful mess in the cab



Electrical:

. Pro- Easier to install. Never no mess oil/diesel in the cab.

. Con- Sometimes the sensor goes bad, or the wire gets a short or breaks. Proper install technique should preclude the wiring issues.



That's my take on it.

Preference: Electrical, just bought 'em but not installed yet. Waiting on a back order of the fuel pressure guage from Geno's... Too many TDR guys using that outfit, can't get all of my order in

Try summit racing they usually have them in stock or can get them much quicker and cheaper too. IMO electrical is the better way to go. Good luck.
