I need a fuel pressure guage. I was looking at the B&M, but they don't have an application for the Accord. Are the B&M fuel pressure guages universal, or can they be adapted to my application?

Thanks for any help you can give.

 

I have a B&M. They do have one for the Accord but I think it mounts on top of the fuel filter or someplace stupid like that. I just went to the auto parts store and got the fuel line fittings. I mounted it inline...

Hey Stew

I know from previous posts that you take pictures of all the work you do to your car , did you happen to snap any photos of the gauge would like to see the the B&M mounted. when you mean online does that mean on the on the fuel line or on the rail?

 

i have autometer electrical fuel pressure gauge. it's universal, but it's expensive as hell. about $200 to get the electrical, about $50 for mechanical. but mechanical is only supposed to be mounted in the engine bay.

 

I have pictures but they're at home. I can post them later this evening. The fuel pressure guage is inline with the fuel line. It's mounted so I can just glance over and see it. I looked at the electronic ones and they're nice-if you can afford it. That is correct that you can not mount these inside the car. I coud have mounted it to the end of the fuel rail but it wasn't really visible there. This way's just easier. I'll post them later...

 

yeah take your time thanks Stew

 

Thats what I run too.

When driving I have a hard time seeing under the hood.

With the old FMU I wanted to be able to see if it was working

 

i've been told b&m quality is cheap-like their prices... look into a liquid-filled fuel pressure gauge... i've heard that they are more accurate, etc...

 

i have a home made under the hood one simular to the one on niedejb's website except i have mine on my fuel filter banjo instead of the banjo on the fuel rail. works great and was cheap. check out niedejb's website.

Hey Stew, can you list the fittings required to do that? I have mine on my Fuel filter and it's a pain because I had to move that vaccuum switch box on the firewall over, and it's hanging by a drywall screw right now. I'd like to change it like yours.

 

What I did was I went down to the auto parts store. They sell brass fittings. I brought my fuel pressure guage and a piece of fuel line that I was using. I got a 3-way junction fitting that fit my threaded end of the fuel pressure guage. Then I got two fuel line fittings and threaded them into the other two holes (so fuel would flow unrestricted through). I clamped the lines down and voila!

If I have time this evening I'll try to take better pictures of the back...

Edit: I actually posted it early this morning. Yesterday was my 2 year anniversary with my GF and she would be upset if she saw me on H-T...

hey stew i know how it is . my 1st wedding anniversary is next sunday and my wife would kill me if i was on h-t ,and not paying any attention to her .

 

Thanks for the pic Stew, just call we a copy-cat but I'm going to try and fabricate something very similar to that because it looks like it works.

Good Job!

 

Here's a picture of the rear. It's just a 3-way junction fitting and two fuel line barbs. The junction I got a hardware store and the fuel line barbs at an auto parts store. This stuff you really can't see from the other side looking at the guage...
