    How to install an external fuel pressure gauge

    I got the Autometer 100psi gauge and I need ideas how to hook it up. I know you need to tee into the supply line, but i need like 50 fittings to make it work..


    How did any of you do it? and do you have more detailed pictures?

    PLEASE HELP!

      the back of that gauge is a AN fitting. so running a hose to won't work.

        If you did want to go the hose route, they sell AN to NPT adapters. The back of that gauge is a 4AN.

                        They do make electric sender oil psi guages. Theres a sender you plug into a 1/8" tee in the oil line, then it electrically send the pressure to the guage. Way simpler, and easier.

                        But of coarse you aleady have the guage. Check out the site posted above, or fittingsandadapters.com. They have pretty much everything you can think of.
