Doesn't your QUADZILLA gauge plug right into the rail? The pod of my X2 does.
There is no sender, rail pressure is never constant or steady, even analog gauges bounce around.

the quad rail psi set up piggybacks onto the factory plug to the factory sender. it WILL not be a steady psi reading as the FCA is CONSTANTLY making adjustments. sit there at an idle and watch it, turn the a/c on and watch the pressure raise. BARLEY tap the throttle and watch it JUMP. it is normal there dude.

If you find on that is 0-40 psi, 240-33.5Ohm you should be in business.

You can try to find a Datcon brand like the one that came with the first generation RPG, but the ones I've found were running $75-$125.

I think you should check your fuel pressure with a mechanical gauge before assuming the quad gauge is srewed.

We know all about your FASS, you started about 6 threads on the problematic install, I'd still check the pressure with another gauge.

also in the 6 threads it states that i had the fass fixed for free. they installed the 1/2" draw straw. the only thing is the return still dumps into my fill spout. that should be fine because the 1/2 draw straw isnt sucking out of the stock canister anymore. my fass sounds normal (no dying out or cavitation/leaks) all the time. i can and will get a gauge somewhere and t in the line and read psi but really it has to be the sender. the quad lp gauge readout itself wouldnt be the problem
