I'm planning on installing my Autometer electrical fuel pressure gauge due to lack of funds and time.
I've already figured out which hose to tap into..
Just wanted to know how messy the job would be.. Should I prepare to be drenched in gasoline??

 

depressurize the fuel system and have a couple of rags ready.. its not so bad.

 

if you can change a fuel filter and fish wires for stereo.. you are in

 

How about a VB and an SC pulley??..

 

5th gen fuel filter is in the tank

 

o

sucks to be you guys

 

You mean the pump or the filter?

RBa, why not squeeze off the lines so they don't leak fuel? Bend the line over itself and clamp both sides off, then cut in the middle.

 

because our 5th gen bhp is above 200?

the filter....according to Haynes manual, 5th gen has an intergral fuel filter in the pump, located in the tank.

 

I was going to do that but I wanted to know how messy the job would be beforehand.. I dun wanna get drenched in gasoline.. LoL.

Thanks for the advice though..

 

You're a braver modder than I am. I don't mess with anything that can kill me, which is pretty much everything .

Good luck with the install, do a write-up for those of us to follow.

 

just a related question...do you guys have any idea how or what kinda "T"/fitting I can use to mount/tap the fuel line to fit this pressure sender(its for oil pressure, but should work for fuel as wel)--->



I can't find a "T"/brass fittings at Home Depot that accepts the 1/8"NPT male end of the sender...any ideas??

 

Maybe try an auto-parts store or summitracing.com.

 

Pepboys has what you need.

 

thanks this t-adapter thing is exactly the same problem i'm having with my fuel pressure gauge. wonder why it didn't come with the automer kit? btw, they're instructions aren't the best.

 

DA-MAX -

I purchased my fitting through JEGS.com. I did not have any luck finding what I needed locally at any parts store.

The part is relatively inexpensive, maybe a dollar or two. Performance shops should carry or be able to order also!

Any good hardware or plumbing supply store will also have 1/8 NPT pipe Tees.
