Yep I have one, an Autometer Phantom. No specific problem with that gauge....but I hate my Autometers. The EGT gauge is all out of whack and even though i have replaced the red lens covers, i still can't get all 3 gauges to glow the same color. It's not even close. I ordered DiProcols Friday. Please don't tell me you are having problems with a mechanical DiProcol

I ordered a mech. 100psi Fuel Pressure gauge, boost gauge, and Rail psi gauge....I'll use my TST for the EGT gauge.

My Autometer Ultra-Lite Electric Fuel Pressure gauge has worked fine for over year and a half now.

i bet you could send them back and have autometer check em out 97....if they knew you were having these problems( if you havnt already said something to them) because they have a good rep with the gasser guys and prolly hate that they are losing the diesels guys business to isspro and dipricol, maybe they will replace them....or not...worth a shot

tried it. they sent me some replacement lens covers and within a week i had 1 white gauge, one red gauge, and one inbetween....just like before. They want me to take my EGT gauge out and send it to them so they can look at it...thats all they will say. I'm already on my second fuel pressure gauge...they first sent me a 15psi gauge....ofcourse that didn't work with a FASS and it took over a month before they agreed to swap gauges for the 30psi. No more Autometer for me. The deciding factor was the rail gauge...i want all my gauges to match

I like my Autometer Phantom 0-30PSI electric. No problems with it or my Autometer tranny temp gauge.

i am also running an autometer ultra-lite electric fuel pressure gauge. no problems either- autometer does recommend using a snubber when using it on the diesel. you can buy the snubber through them. (they have them in brass and stainless steel-get the stainless steel!)

I had the same problem, ditched the mechanical and the worthless isolator and went electronic. No bleeding, no needle valves (for those who remove the isolator) nothing, just screw in the sending unit run one wire and your done!

Thanks for the replies, my autometers don't match very well either. I have the green covers on, not going to worry about it, to many other things I want.
