Fuel Pressure Guage

[JJRSMP12]

What type and where did you get your fuel pressure guage?

 

[BarryG]

I personally used an SPA fuel pressure and oil temp gauge. They are digital and they are kinda pricey but I sure do like them. I ordered it through Nowell at Performance Diesel. You can go to his website or to SPATechnique .com for info on the gauges. One thing I really like about them is they are dual gauges. So you can fit six in the A pillar instead of three. However I am sure others will chime in with their comments on others as there are many. Isspro, Autometer, Dipricol etc. . all have there pros and cons, comes down to personal choice. Happy hunting

Autometer 4361 is what I chose and am very happy with the quality. It is an electric analog gauge which is also very pricey, but good info doesn't come cheap.

I'm using a Stewart Gauge and dual senders purchased through www.xks.com . Haven't had any problems with them - around $90.

Got the Westach from Geno's Garage. Only 65. 00



Disclaimer: not installed yet so can't tell how it works.

Just installed the Westach like the one Geno's has, but mine also has a user set warning LED. (also can be used to trigger a relay for greater flexability. ) ~$100 with sender. I like it so far.

Does the SPA gauge read negative pressure?

 

[Bigsaint]

I also have the SPA FP/temp. gauge, purchased from Nowel @ Performance Diesel. Can't say enough for the gauge or Nowel, both are great.



Yes Bruce, the SPA does show negative pressure. I found out the hard way when my first Mallory died, SPA was reading -11 psi's @ idle.

I just received the Westach from Geno's. Where should I mount the gauge. "A"pillar is full with EGT and boost gauges. I would appreciate any suggestions on installation.

 

[dresslered]

Lots of room on the dash. I started out with the autometer triple dash pod. I added two more gauges and ended up going to the pillar. Had I only had one more gauge to add, I was thinking of a custom ash tray mounted gauge (you could close it up when not in use). There seems to be plenty of room in there for a single gauge.

Isspro mechanical, run post-filter



The top reading is a little high (50), but I wanted it to match the EGT & boost, so it'll do. Works good (although I haven't yet bled the air out of the supply line, which causes me to lose prime sometimes)

Autometer electric, analog. About 20K miles and no problem. Mounted in a triple pillar with EGT and Boost gauges.

Hey OILBRNR,



Which Guage did you get? I just recieved thier catalog and didn't see anything about the warning setup. Would be interested in getting one with the warning. Also would like to setup a warning system for my EGT guage since I have a PM3.



BTW next week on my way back from CO I'm gonna stop in Vegas to get a Joe Donnely clutch installed.



Take it easy.
