I have a real annoying rattle coming from my fuel pressure guage. The needle has a tendency of bouncucing a bit as well. I just can't take the rattling anymore. I have been looking at getting a new guage. Can I just buy the guage itself or do I need to buy the whole kit?

 

fullpull108:

If you will put a "Fuel Pressure Snubber" in the system that should take care of the problem. I had the same problem on mine and the snubber took care of the problem. I had to put mine right before the actual sensor. Here is a part number on one that "Auto Meter" makes if you are interested:

"Auto Meter Fuel Pressure Snubber-Part Number: #3279"

You should be able to get this through Jegs or Summit.

Where is your gauge hooked into fuel system..... at the V.P???? I had a jumping gauge was driving me nuts.Moved my line off V.P and down to pull pressure at My airdog. And all is good so far. Thanks to Katboom for info. Nate

 

Another thing to try, which basically does the same thing as the snubber, is an 1/8" needle valve. Install it inline and just barely crack it open until pressure shows on the guage.

Good point OldDodgeOwner!

Let me add that those 1/8"needle valves can be found at "Lowes, Home Depot or any Ace Hardware" Stores. They are in the plumbing areas.
