Fuel Pressure Gauge

What range does an electric fuel presure gauge need to have for a stock 2000 5.9 Cummins with auto trany?

Do I need 0-30 psi or is a 0-16 psi sufficient ?

Tx in advance for the help.

IMO 0-16 is pushing the mechanical limits of the gauge. It may never give you any problems, but I would opt for the 0-30.

the 0-16 will work. if you change/ mod the lift pump you might wish you went with the other

for the most accurate reading you want the needle to be the center of the reading scale
