Default Mech Fuel Pressure Gauge

How many here are running mechanical fuel pressure gauges in the cabin? I used to own an electrical short sweep and needless to say, it was fubar. The full sweep was like $200+ too...

I was wondering what your thoughts are on running a stainless braided line carrying fuel through the firewall and into the cabin?

I have the B + M fuel pressure guage located on the fuel filter inside the engine bay.

Only $30 too.

good luck,

the B&M unit is inexpensive,
but when youre boosting, who the heck can get under the hood to
check the fuel pressure...

i have a friend whos running straight fuel, been like that
yoru a year+ now..no problems..
would i do it...hmm, not really... better safe than sorry..
