anyone ever try doing this yet, looking to get a fuel pressure guage and want the ease of just running some more wires into the cab instead of a small hose.

moss022,

Put in an Autometer Z Series 2661, and run the sensor off the outlet port of the post oem filter head. Works slick.:D

Do they make one similar that shows negative and positive pressure so we can monitor filter restriction with lift pump off?
I just added a switch so I can shut the lp off when the engine is running.It would be really handy to have both.

They make a full sweep electrical gauge for pressure/vaccum in the Sport Comp series, but I'm not sure if it's rated for fuel. Probably easiest to call Autometer to find out. Here's a link:

i've been running the 0-15PSI electric fuel pres. gauge for over a year now. mounted in the a-pillar. works great!

I am putting in an auxtank/toolbox, I am considering putting in a Racor filter and lift pump at the same time. Can I put in a fuel pressure gauge on the Racor? Should the filter be before the lift pump or after?

Thanks, this is a great site! I have learned a lot in my last two months of reading posts!

I've been running the SPA fuel pressure gauge and yes it swings both ways! :eek:

you know sycamore is just about 15-20 minutes north of me :D just a tid bit. so they run pretty smooth then??

trippin you have a pic of yours?

I'll snap a pic tonight. SPA also has a high limit recall and low pressure warning light. I removed the factory pressure tap/fitting by the alternator and installed the SPA sending unit into the factory hose.

Moss,
How's this?

looks good, whats the second temp reading?

I haven't tried the fuel psi gauge, only the boost/pyro. Does the fuel unit read in -psi, or -"hg?

psi on the + side, but it also reads a negative number when I drive without the Fass pump turned on, which could indicate hg.:confuzeld

Know anybody with a connection to SPA that can find out? ;)

For me it's just a number for observation, I'm not too concerned with the units as a larger negative number is something I try to avoid.

does it come with all the hard ware for the install? or i should say what comes with the kit??

I bought mine from Kennedy. It comes with the gauge, wiring harness and the necessary probes/sending units. It is a complete kit with the exception of mounting hardware.

I recommend the overhead console mount that someone here on the board sells.:D

i know about the mount, but the attitude is already up there. now if you had another way of mounting those guages without putting them on the a-pillar, you might have a :deal: . i already have a boost guage on my steering colum!! running out of room to put guages, maybe its time to scrap that old edge box :devilfing

I think it is psi. Haven't been able to see much of a negative with mine.

Does SPA use a sender or transducer? My concern is low pressure accuracy in which senders fall short. I have found that even the senders with a 0-15 psi range are usually off by a couple or more pounds. I'm thinking SPA has a transducer which will be dead on accurate. I'm currently using a mechanical gauge with a fuel isolator and it's a ***** to remove air from the system so it will be accurate. Time to move up to electronics.

Moss,

There is a local guy that you pull against that has a electric fp gauge in his Dmax.I believe he has it mounted in his pillar,and by the way you can't you can't purchase directly from Auto Meter at their headquarters.

which truck though?
