Fuel Pressure Gauges

[RRoller123]

I have seen many photos of Spider FI engine compartments that have fuel pressure gauges mounted on the fuel rail. Can someone supply a source for these? Where did you guys get them? Thanks.

this kind of thing? any in-line gauge should work... just have to make sure the size of the inlet/outlet matches your fuel lines.

I have seen some really tiny ones on the forum pics that stay permanently connected to the fuel rail under the hood, that is what I would like to find.

Yep, that is it but need the FI high pressure gauge, thanks for the lead, I will keep looking.

Make sure you get a good indicator that has a liquid filled face.
The vibration under the hood will kill a normal gauge. The gears in the linkage from the bourdon tube to the indicator get worn badly.

I would think you could adapt and electric oil pressure gauge. Mount the sender on the fender well. Put a "T" on the sender and run a fuel line from the rail where the cold start valve connects to the "T". Then another back to the cold start valve. Then you could have the pressure gauge in the dash where you could see it while driving. Most oil pressure gauges max out at 80-100lbs pressure so the needle would be close to mid scale.

That is an interesting idea, and thanks for the warning about wear.
