Fuel pressure test

[chris989]

Does anyone know of a fuel pressure gauge for a TBI motor i can leave in place while driving, even if not permanent. Just want to monitor the pressure under a load to make sure it is keeping up.

I found plenty that can check the static pressure.
Thanks,
Chris

this place for adapter unit . http://www.rvmorsemachine.com/newproducts.htm

great people and never heard bad in years of them around .

for safety reasons you can not have fuel pressure in the cab of the vehicle . it has to be isolated if mechanical or electric sender . both in the end run about the same .

then a 0-30 psi electric from someone like auto meter . kind of like this in what ever flavor you like . https://www.autometer.com/2-fuel-pre...-fse-4420.html

i have the 0-100 psi for my 60 psi system i have on now .

fuel left / tach middle / engine vac right . . . and my dash pad is crap so no i didnt screw a gauge pod to a good dash pad guys . . . .

I just went on amazon and got a fuel pressure test kit that included a barbed tee to schrader adapter. My truck had rubber fuel hose going up the backside of the engine(don't know if that was correct or not), so I cut that and put the tee in place. The fuel gauge and hose fit perfectly through the gearshift hole, and I could just glance at the floor board if I wondered if the fuel pressure was holding high enough. Safety -- big whoop

Did you have to modify the fuel line at the back of the TBI or did it fit inplace?

few tweeks of the line and it fits in place .

you take out the stock adapter/spacer unit and put this slightly longer unit in its place .
