1 = 1 psi .... 15 = 15 psi .... psi = pounds per square inch ....

Fuel pressure and fuel level are different.

Regardless of what it is, and what it is for ....

this kid apparently has a problem with his fuel level gauge .... and no fuel pressure gauge will give him the reading he wants.

That's what I was thinking. Though am not sure. FI engines generally run more than 35 psi. Never seen a FI one below 15....

@ OP:
You need to get a gauge that's higher up in fuel pressure, no FI engine runs 1-15psi.


EDIT:
You need something like this:

Before you do, are you having troubles with an actual aftermarket fuel pressure gauge, or is your fuel level gauge on your cluster not working?
