Default Fuel Pressure

Can anyone point me towards a way of mesuring my fuel pressure...

I'm running EFI with the normal end of rail regulator

May not be the right room, but i'm sure someone in here must know!

Your need to put a tee piece in the pipe from pump to rail, and fit a pressure gauge. will need to read more than 50psi if doing static pressure, or 70 psi if checking whilst under boost.


Static you will need to remove vac/boost pipe from reg, and block it.

fuel pipe and 8mm Tee piece, and J-clips = £5 - £10, matters on legth of pipe.

gauge, and 8mm fitting = £15 - £40,


all from a good Hydrolic fittings place, of Demon tweaks, or Ebay.
