Fuel Pressure Guages? Hardware store work?
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.

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.

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