Installed fuel pressure meter

[stownsend]

I used the 18" tube that Geno's sells so that I could attach to the post filter shrader valve. I found that if I tighten the connector to the shrader valve, I don't get a pressure reading, but if I leave the connector kind of loose (only finger tight), I get a reading, but it's not consistant. What's up with that?



It's almost like the shrader valve is closing if it's too tight. Should I remove the shrader valve? Any idea's how to make the reading mre reliable?

I took the valve out and put in a tapped banjo bolt in its place. Mine (westach) has worked fine for over two years.



Make sure all your electrical connections are tight, especially your grounds. The instructions that came with mine said to use the same ground for the meter and the sender. Have fun...

I took the core out of the schrader. No problemo.

Wade,



What tool did you use to get the core out?

Just use a valve core remover, probably cost you less than a dollar and often come on tire valve caps. I've heard of some folks cutting the rubber seal off the bottom of the core and reinserting, then it becomes a snubber.
