Default Fuel pressure gauge



Just come across this on ebay and I'll probably be buying it to monitor my fuel pressure, but why does it say in the description that the gauge is "not to be fitted permanently"

why is this?

*edited now with pic, sorry half asleep lol*

i think its illegalto have fuel coming into the cabin, so a capilary gauge would be naughty

my fuel reg hasn't got a take off for a fuel pressure gauge so an inline one is my only option.

The bloke makes the hose tails in 6mm so it will fit straight into the feed pipe

I was intending leaving it in the engine bay anyways so I'll leave it rigged up then, cheers people
