Default B&M fuel guage crapping out :(

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone else has seen or heard of this problem. Jeff tuned my CRX at the end of March and she's been running insane ever since. However, my B&M fuel gauge on my AEM fuel rail keeps crapping out.

I had the original one on during the tuning session and it was working fine, it lasted until last month. Problem was the gauge was reading 90 psi while idling!! I got freaked out and couldn't figure out what was wrong with my regulator. Make a long story short it was the gauge it somehow went up to 90psi and got stuck there. I took it off the car and it was still sitting at 90. So I bought another one and the second one lasted 5 days and it did the same thing, but this was is stuck at 60psi.

It's really strange, anyone ever here of this?? Also, does anyone know of a different gauge I can buy to screw into my rail??


Thanks

Known thing. The vibrations kill them, from other peoples experiences you should get a gauge that is filled with fluid (floating needle) They supposedly last a lot longer. I've personally had my B&M Gauge for 2.5 yrs and have had no issues.
