I mean I figured you already knew electric fuel pressure gauges existed, since it is the right way to do it. Figured you were looking for a far more janky way of doing things.

I had a friend over today to help me put the motor in and he mentioned that is what he used in his dually. My mind as been all cluster fucked the last couple weeks, why I took my vacation from work.

I just didn't think there were sensors with 1/8th npt ends that just screwed onto the line fitting. So far I found gauges for $50 each (not liquid filled) and sensors for about $35. Do about $100 to run an electric gauge setup.

What about using a1 Marine/coast guard/epa approved fuel line? It's fire tested with a 2.5 minute hold. Sure it'll need to be shielded near the headers and kept clear of any sharp edges that could vibrate a hole into it..

But it looks like a really good choice, an size hose won't work with my current fittings cause they size em like idiots. A -10 is a 7/16 id but the -8 is too big for 3/8 and the -6 is too small.

The a1 Marine fuel hose actually comes is standard sizing so I won't need to buy all new fittings and go through the fitting headache again. Hell I might even throw some Chrome tubing on it to shield the heat. My last motor I used aluminum tape on the rubber hose that was by the exhaust. Figure I could wrap the areas that will contact metal with some friction tape for added security.

Whatcha think?

Here's the sizing chart for braided line. Looks like -10 and -8 are just a hair too large for my fittings.

If your going to be carbed nos that electric fuel gauge is way too high for you. That's for efi and carb'd blow thru setups.

You shouldn't see anything higher than 15-20lbs total.

Well yeah that Guage in the picture is. I was looking at 15psi gauges. Like this one.
