does anyone have a good step by step with pics of where to conect the fuel pres gauge to.. cause my gauges are from japan and the instuctions are in japanese.. i have the t on there now is ther anything else i need to add and where does the t connect to.. i know its the fuel rail but im haven a prob tryin to locate exactly where to hook it up at. thanx for the help..

 

I assume you do not have the blower since it is not listed in your signature nor do I remember a post about it. If I am correct, which I could have a failing memory, you will need to get the below adapter.

B&M Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter

This will hook up to the top of the dampener and give you a source. From there you will need to adapt the potentially metric threads to the pipe threads.

 

i have the gauge already. here is link to it http://www.optauto.com/index.htm?stocknumber=BLZ-19323 and i have the t fittingto plug into the fuel line is there anything else i need

 

What fitting do you have to plug into the fuel line?? Are you talking about the sensor its self??

If so that will need to thread in somewhere and there is no place. The B&M adapter gives you a location.

 

here u scal here is pic of what i have. what do i need

 

That appears to be a mechanical gauge. If so you need to return it unless you plan on leaving that under the hood. You should never run fuel or oil lines into the cab. If it broke or came loose the results would be terrible.

I see a pack of smokes there; imagine the line coming off as you take a drag. Next thing you know you are engulfed in fire. So not only to you burn alive, you also crash.

But, if it were an electrical gauge you would still need the part I mentioned. This part would fit into the factory dampener and then you would tie in the gauge to it.

One question though, why are you measuring fuel pressure??

 

just got good deal on the gauges i got both for 90 bucks and they retail for 250 each.. see there made to go inside the car and there electrical gauges i just dont have the wires pluged into the back of um

 

ALL mechanical gauges cost <$50 each. Like Scalbert said, DO NOT RUN FUEL INTO YOUR CAB!!! That's just asking for trouble!!

A typical electric fuel gauge runs $200. That is far less than most medical insurance deductibles.

BTW, what's the point of a fuel pressure gauge if you're NA??



Ooops, sorry...just read they're electrical. Good deal then...

 

yeah the days of running fuel and hot oil into the cabin of the vehicle are over..

your asking to die a horrible death..

 

and paying :smitty: a visit after the flames

 

ouch

 

Send him a business card Smitty

 

There may be wires that go to them to light it up. But that braided line sure looks like a supply tube. Also, that brass fitting the line is hooked up to doesn't look like a typical pressure sensor.

Two things to look at, first is to pull the braided line fitting off of the brass tee and see if this is an electrical connector or wires in there. Two, the link you provided states the following "BLITZ MECHANICAL BLM METER: PRESS. 60MM (CARBON/BLACK LIGHT)".

It looks like it is a mechanical gauge. Please do not begin to install that in the cab.

 

yea i just checked damm it. so u think its safe mounting under the hood??

 

You could just get that B&M kit and be done with it. That would give you a simple gauge for underhood use.

BTW, why are you wanting to measure fuel pressure?? It should not be a factor for a NA vehicle.
