SuperSport Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I am looking to see if anyone running a fuel pressure gauge can tell me how and where you hooked it up to the fuel system. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 There is a cap on the pass fuel rail. You can just take it off, remove the schrader valve with some needle nose pliers and screw in your sending unit there. Then it's just a matter of running the wiring to the cab.

smithl3 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Just as Benkey said. I had in issue with mine not screwing right in though, I had to get a NPT adapter to go from the sending unit to the schrader vlave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threads may be the same, but may be a diff type of fitting - as was my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandostert Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have a fuel pressure gauge on my truck. I tapped into the fuel rail, remove the shrader valve inside it. I got the tool at a bike shop. The thread on the fuel rail is actually the same as AN sizes. The only fitting that worked is the same fitting used for adding a nos pressure gauge. PM me if you want the part number. It had an extra male outlet and i added my fuel line for my wet nos shot there or you can buy a male an cap. ONLY use teflon thread sealer on the npt( fuel gauge sender) DO NOT USE IT ON THE AN STUFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have an Autometer gauge and i guess i just have to find a female -AN to female npt, which should be fun. If someone knows where i can get one i would appreciate it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkdivr Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Where can I pick one of those little devils up? I've looked all over, and so far the only place I've found is Metco. Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigBa Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I went to autozone and got a 1/2 inch long brass nipple and a brass 90. I screwed the nipple in the place where the schader valve was, and then the 90, and then the sending unit and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkdivr Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Try these from Summit : EAR-916104 EAR-991001 I ordered them, and a whole bunch of other fittings just in case. Also, Metco has this: MFP0001 GM I'm not sure if I want to mount it directly to the rail, or run a -4 braided line off to the side somewhere. I THINK I ordered enough fittings to run it any way it looks best. I also ordered some line and fittings to do my boost gauge, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
204Denali Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Why does everyone that I talk to seem to think that if you run the sending unit off of the shraeder ( spelling ) valve that it will leak? I dont understand how it will be any more prone to leaking then anything else. Has anyone had a problem with leaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
