I went ahead and bought a fuel pressure gauge from summit racing and would like to know what connectors are others using to get it connected to the fuel rail. Please do not show me the one from RPM becasue i saw that one already. I actual won it at hooters meet but didnt get it yet.

Thanks

This is the pressure gauge i bought.

Re: Fuel pressure gauge

You need to take a line off the rail. There is a nipple there with a -4 AN male fitting. Get a hose made up and get a 90 degree fitting and route it where you like. The back of your gauge is 1/8 NPT so you will need a male/male adaptor for the line as well.

In the fuel rail is a valve (schrader) - just take that out and you're good to go.

Okay so let me get this straight....the shrader vale i can remove its the same thing like a tires valve,,,,,,correct? Then get a male male connector and im done. Of course i will need to make sure theres no gas pressure in the line before i do this, which will be my next question. I'm assuming crank the truck once/twice with the fuel pump relay disconnectted!!

Will this work? OF course using this i wont need to remove the shrader valve.

Re: Fuel pressure gauge

Just checked it. One in my hand new in the box. Maybe it is discontinued? Jegs # 0280-8971. Summit # CYB-8971. Cyberdyne # 8971. Not in their catalogs but I have ordered before from them via phone. This is for mounting a liquid filled gauge on the fuel rail or for mounting the remote sender there. In either case make a bracket to an intake bolt to support the weight so the fuel rail is not supporting the weight by itself. Kind of fragile if it vibrates.
