Default B&M fuel pressure gauge issues.

Has anyone elese experienced a clicking type of noise comming from there gauge?

I put a steathascope (sp) on it and its definately comming from the gauge. I put it on the fuel filter and its not the problem. checked the fuel line, fuel injectors. Its for sure comming from the gauge..

never heard of that.. when you put it together, did you remember to put in the spring? did you cut the hat off within the specs?

do you have a gauge also.. is it high?

Those B&M gauges are the biggest piles of **** I have ever seen.I put one on a allmotor car one time .And as soon as I revved it once the glass popped off.And then a couple of seconds later the needle popped off.A that has happend almost
every time one gets used.And by the way thats probably your injectors clicking.They do that you know.On a sheet metal or thin manifold They are really loud.

he said he used a stethiscope, so im sure he knows where the ticking is comming from, however, i have heard those gauges arn't the greatest things in the world (even though i have 2 in 2 seperate cars, and never had a problem) but you can always try a new one.. i heard the liquid filled autolink ones are the ****...

sorry i can't help, never heard of this probelm.

Yea, Its not my injectors. I have RC injectors they dont really click more of a humm. It sounds to be comming from the pressure gauge or possibly the fuel filter? Im gonna take the gauge off and see if the clicking goes away.
