Fuel Pressure Gauge

Spindrift · Jul 16, 2012

Looking to change out the poor excuse of a set-up for reading my fuel pressure. Currently pulling fuel of the fuel bowl with a braided S.S. hose which goes into an under hood manifold. Out of the manifold with 1/8" plastic hose to the fuel gauge in cab. All of my gauges are Isspro. Is there a "best" set-up for an electric gauge?

Get a matching isspro fuel Psi gauge.

The existing in-cab gauge is an Isspro also. I want to go all electronic. Anyone know one of our vendors who carries these?

Ev2 isspro is all electric.

Autometer has electric gauges

OK...so I went ahead and purchased an Isspro electric fuel pressure gauge. I'm assuming the sensor for the gauge goes into the bottom of the fuel bowl adjacent to the cap for the regulator. The Isspro sensor is 1/8" NPT. I've got no clue about the size of that plug. Any ideas as to what I need to make the connection? Thanks.

It is m12x1.5 oring. I have an autometer adapter and I had to grind it down for clearence. Another option is a billet filter cap with a test port.

Are you talking about the fuel pressure adapter fitting that connects to the fuel pressure adapter hose/line for the mechanical gauge set-up? That fitting won't connect to the 1/8" NPT threads on the pressure sensor.

I don't have a picture but it is a m12x1.5 thread to a 1/8npt in the test port on the regulator housing. Where do you have your mechanical gauge taking its reading from?
