Fuel pressure gauge install

So... how do you go about hooking this thing up to your fuel system to read the pressure? Thinking about getting one...

would something like that work?

unfortunately you'd have to cut the stock hose for something like this to work. and i don't believe the stock hose is the most friendly thing to hose clamps...

what would you recommend then to hook up a fuel pressure gauge? i couldn't think of anything else.

any ideas? people with fuel pressure gauges, how did you do your install?

We could use this in-line adapter to mount the 1/8 NPT pressure sensor/sender. Anyone knows the stock fuel hose size...AN-6 or -8?

take off stock fuel line, replace with 5/16 high pressure hose.

Remove the stock "hose" all together and use 5/16" high pressure fuel injection line w/ a T adaptor or whatever for the sensor. Getting the stock hose off is a bit of a bitch. I used a razorblade and went really really slow. haha

Please post a few pics of that setup. I'm going to be installing a fuel press gauge soon as well and I'de like to have a visual beforehand.

cant get the stock hose off? take a sharpie cap, cut the top off, and a slit in the middle. i use this method every other day. ive got a dwar with like 9 sharpies im keeping just for the cap.

YUp, I used a razor blade and cut a little slit where it went onto the fitting for the fuel rail and comming up on the fire wall, and just replaced it with goodyear 5/16 fuel line hose.

Also, Use FUEL LINE CLAMPS. not normal worm claps.

Please post pictures of where/how you mounted the pressure sensor and what fittings you used.

lol Norb definitely change over the fuel line but you don't need an adapter like they have to run a fuel pressure gauge. you need a 4AN female to male 1/8th NPT gauge adapter. If you buy the fuel pressure gauge they Normally come with it.
