fuel pressure gauge

[99250]

any one had problems with the fuel pressure gauge? i bought one and installed it a bout 2 months ago no problems until today was driving home from a racing trip with my buddy when we smelled diesel from what i can tell the fuel pressure broke the gauge and was spraying everywhere luckily i had the original plug with me and just put it back in just figured i would see if it is just me or not.

None here either. What I Did Do tho: I wrapped the Pressure line with 1/4"Wire Wrap.. When yer doing 65/70 or when yer Fan clutch kicks in, theres alot of air blowing/moveing things around under yer hood.. I also attached the line here'n there with Wire Ties just to keep it from flap'n/flop'n around. do'n those two things are a good idea, I think.

im interested in putting a fuel pressure guage but not sure where to install it at and what would be a good one to buy. any help would be great thanks...

also is it possible to get one that can be mounded inside of the cab? (without running a fuel line into the cab)

Everyone here seems to have a favorite Brand when it comes to Gauges. I have all Di-procol guages and am happy with them, they've served me well, with no problems. They match the Ford guages. They're mounted on the "A" pillar, in a 4 guage mount.

And yes you can mount a fuel press gauge in the cab. Mine is. But.. I used an Isolator, in line. The pressure (diesel fuel filled) line comes from the filter houseing to the isolator, from the isolator to the guage the line is filled with anti-freeze (less than an 1/8th oz) That way, if the guage should fail.. yer not spraying Diesel fuel into the cab (prolly never git the smell out).

Many of the Site sponsors have Guages and all the stuff/fittings/mounts you would need to do the job. CHECK'm OUT.

How do you shimm the fuel pressure regulater on a 99.5 7.3 diesel? I also would like to install a fuel gauge under the hood but where would be the ideal spot?
