Hey guys, while wandering around the hardware store the other day i saw a pressure gauge by the brass and steel pipe plumbing. They had all kinds, up to 200 psi. I was wonderin, if its ok for water, would there be any reason it couldnt be fitted to my fuel line? Its just a 1/4 npt brass fitting on the back so i figure i could adapt it. Im just wonderiing before I go playing with fuel lines...dont wanna blow up the car.

thats a good question, i dont see why it wouldnt work! Any one else have any opinion on this?

i was told the b&m pressure gauges are really air gauges but they sell them for fuel. i dont see why the ones from the hardware store would not work.

 

Maybe the gaskets seals would be different. I don't know if they use different ones for fuel or not. It would probably work though.

 

Potentially, the fuel might eat through the gasket. But this is say in maybe a decade.

 

Just use metal gaskets. Just like the ones that come when you by new fuel filter.
