Anyone used an oil pressure gauge for fuel pressure? Seems you can get a kit cheep and comes with 1/8 inch copper line. I never heard of a leaking oil pressure gauge even though the oil is hot.

Pressure is pressure, yes you can use any pressure gauge you want.

Pressure is pressure, doesn't really matter what the gauge face says on it.

The main thing here is to use a gauge that is calibrated in a range that is about two times the normal operating pressure. My fuel pressure runs about 16# so I used a 0-30# gauge. If you use a 0-100# gauge it would be harder to read your exact pressure.

I paid $39 for my ISSPRO mechanical fuel pressure gauge. The tubing kit was $8 the steering column gauge mount was $29 and few dollars for a few brass fittings. Not expensive at all for how important it is to have.

ratsun, you and I posted at the same time and both said about the same thing.

What about a boost gauge? Well, I know it would work, but I guess what I'm asking is, would the seals in the boost gauge hold up to the fuel since it was made for air only?

I had one years ago leak on me (with the plastic tubing, I think I tightened it too much) in a hot rod with high volume pump, man did it make a mess to clean up....was enough for me.
