Fuel pressure gauge fitting???
I want to fit an electric fuel press gauge to my cossie, but I am unsure how to mount the sensor on the rail / rail area.
I have seen Carwise Uk's very nice anodised union, but are there any options?
What have you guys done to fit yours?
Thanks

You can use a fitting to take a VDO Sensor off, either 1/8 bsp or 1/4bsp for the vdo sensor threads usually , a dash 6 gauge adaptor from Earls is inexpesnive and these offer the threads you'll need.

I've got an Autometer gauge that comes with a it's own 0-100 psi electrical sender (it quotes 1/8 NPT?!)
Where could I look at their range? Hve you got a pic of the bit i would need?
Have you got any pics of yours fitted?

The vDO can be seen bottom right from my top fuel rail , the other pic is from a Carwise rail , gain i used a dash 6 Gauge adaptor to dash 3 for a capillary gauge . 1/8NPT and BSP are so close that you can use the gauge adaptor with no worries

Thanks for the pics sir. Your bay looks smooth, a bit of aeroquip under there!
As mine is only a 4 inj set up, and as i have converted the'loop over'feed to -6 aeroquip, would it be ok to mount the sender on that union, or would that just give fuel line pressure? I think it would replicating yours in that sense.
I think Earls do the union I need, - 6 male to -6 female with 1/8 NPT take off, the union on my sender is 8- 9mm, that's 1/8 NPT?
Thanks
