Fuel Pressure Gauge

I need the complete fuel pressure gauge and all associated parts for installation. I have a pillar post already installed which would accept the gauge. The gauge needs to be 2 and 1/8 inches. Does anyone know where I could find this gauge?

Thanks

Tim White

Tim,

Look at the Isspro EV series:

Unlike many of the other guages out there (autometer etc.) it is the correct range to measure fuel pressure. Also, mechanical guages are much more dependable, IMO.

Rod at Wildcat Diesel Performance has the complete Isspro EV Fuel pressure gauge setup.
Quality parts make a quality job that you only have to do one time.

If I had it to over, I would have gone w/the westach double gauges. 2 gauges per hole in the pod. I have not had any problems w/my gauges, but would be nice to see fp pre and post filter, and egt pre and post turbo, as well as boost, and an oil pressure gauge that works better than the stocker.

That is why I went Westech. Fuel PSI., Boost/EGT, Trans temp./engine temp. Then I added an oil psi in another pillar mount, mouted to my tri-pillar.

twhite,

Some people (including me) feel the mechanical guages are more durable and offer better accuracy as they withstand the pulses from the VP-44 better.

Thank you, Mr. TAZ

But, my preference is for Mechanical with NO isolator. With quality parts and a competant installer you'll never have a leak.
