Quadzilla Commander reads pressure but it's not cheap either. The benefit to it, is that it will do a lot more than read rail pressure.

The only other option I've heard of is John at Floor It had a custom one made before the DiProcal was available. It will read 40,000psi. Of course, it cost him $1500. Makes $300 not sound as bad.

The DiPricol RP gauge is really an excellent investment if you plan to ever install fueling mods beyond the basic idiot-proof levels.

Mine's gone bad already. I was up at Floor-it over the weekend for other reasons, but the gauge always read high. Since then I've been looking at the SPA gauges. They have a modified one that will read rail pressure. John told me they were the original rail pressure gauge. It's not analog though.

Diablo predator reads pressure plus a whole lot more. It reads it in Mpa so you have to multiply to get psi.

oma, how did you confirm your gauge was shot? I'm having trouble with mine reading low.
Initial start up reads 7k~, seconds later needle drops to 3k~ or less, notice driving the needle will go up and down even when the load has not changed???

I have a new one coming but have no solid evidence that the gauge is faulty.

Did you just order a new one and going to pay for it?

That's exactly what mine was doing. It would read normal for a little while and then fall off. On a long haul on the highway it was down to zero. Obviously my pressure wasn't zero or the truck wouldn't be running. I hooked up my Diablosport and wernt into the live data menu and drove around watching the pressure with it, and it was normal.

I don't have the info with me right now, but I'll get you the names and numbers of who you need to contact so you can return the faulty one for credit - hopefully I'll remember tonight after work. (code for - I'm playing on the internet right now at work) I don't have my replacement installed yet, but hopefully it isn't the same way.

How would you guys feel about a very inexpenisve but, nice rail pressure only gauge?

Or would it be better to have a gauge that read rail and lift pump pressure?
