Who has trouble with QUAD RP gauge?

I have the slim quadzilla rail pressure gauge. first one died after a month. second one worked fine till lately. I dont know if its gauge or not but instead of giving the usual reading of 7-9 psi (stock lift pump), it starts showing 0-2 PSI. Sometimes im driving slow and it says 0. This cant be possible is it? or is the gauge hooped. i find very erratic readings.

Sounds like a bad sending unit. Does the RP portion work fine? I have read about alot of folks having issues with the sender. I gave up on mine along time ago

Hello,

I have the same issue. The RP works fine but the LP begun reading zero and bouncing around about 2 weeks ago.

Mine never even worked (FP part), even after trying several of the things their tech guys told me to, they said I could send it back for another one. I bought a real FP guage instead.

I'm having the same problem with my Quadzilla Commander fuel pressure gauge. Very erratic readings, keeps jumping all over the place. I started calling Quadzilla in February for a new one. Every time I call they are working on it call back in two weeks, call back next month. I have only one thing to say: "Excellent Customer Support".

It looks like a oil preasure sending unit off of a late 70's gas motor. I have an idenical on on my 79 ford 429 motor for the oil preasure. THat may work??
