DIY fuel pressure gauge install
I recently needed to check my fuel pressure while trying to diagnose a problem. Our fuel system does not provide an easy place to install a fuel pressure gauge so I put this together.
Standard disclaimer Do this at your own risk. Opening/modifying the fuel system is risky business. Make sure your engine is cold and that you have a suitable fire extinguisher handy. Don't blame me if you burn your car to the ground! Tools
Parts
Process
You may want to keep your fire extinguisher handy for the next little while (keep it in the car). After driving a bit re-check the fuel line and make sure there are no leaks at all. Make sure you do this immediately after turning off the engine or with the ignition on (pump running) since fuel evaporates quickly. Like I said, I built my own gauge using a microcontroller and electrical pressure sensor. If anyone is interested in my setup I can elaborate a bit, but there are lots of options out there. -Matt Last edited by armstrom; 08-30-2017 at 10:04 AM. |

Thoughts on doing this with a mechanical gauge directly into the Cobb adapter?
