Any reason why using an oil pressure sender would be bad to use as a fuel pressure sender on a tee near the fuel rail?

Good point, good point...
Hmm. Just had a thought. Is it anywhere in any rally related rulebook that all mechanical fuel pressure gauges must either be mounted externally or have an isolator? This is SOP in other forms of motorsport in the US, but I don't recall ever seeing it in SCCA or RA rules.

That's the thing, all the fuel pressure gauges I've been able to find are either mechanical, I haven't been able to find any electric senders specifically for EFI. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, most of my stuff is VDO...

You could use a mechanical fuel pressure gauge. After all, *you* trust all your fuel system plumbing without a bulkhead... Why not trust a mechanical gauge to not spray you with fuel too? While you're at it make sure you sharpen the firewall hole for the gauge line, and be sure not to use a grommet. BTW: do you use $7.00 wrenches on your Aeroquip fittings too? |

Close John, but no cigar. The rules of the competition were that you *whine* about censorship. Mentioning censorship without whining about it doesn't count. Try again. |

Jens you stupid cocksucker. If you think that's what this site is about then get the fuck out of here you spineless fag. I usually shut up when i don't have anything nice to say but apparently you open your fucking mouth whenever you are bored or don't have a cock to suck on.
I hope and pray you can get the balls to fucking come out of your shit hole and look me up at a rally. If I would see you catch fire I wouldn't piss on you. Now to answer your question Skye, I use a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail to keep an eye on the pressure during tuning, I observed fuel pressure fluctuation only once and it was due to a Bosch pump starting to get tired. I use a SARD FPR witha cheapo Autozone fuel pressure gauge. Cheers M.Samli Phoenix AZ Gaylant VR4 EVO III GSR (Stolen) Rallies are no place for traitors |
