A good nice little gauge...

[Fabrice]

On my old carb combo with 650DP Holley, got a Summit double line with filter and a nice little pressure gauge

Now with a Sniper, I want a fuel pressure gauge back in engine bay.

To be added, i just need this

https://www.holley.com/products/accessories/gauges_and_gauge_accessories/parts/AT100199ERL

and with the gauge they promote, I should have been set...

till I saw the gauge in situation (scroll a bit to see it on sniper)

https://www.efisystempro.com/earls-fuel-pressure-gauge-100-psi-100187ERL

its like a gauge with a sniper attached to it.

I want a sniper with a gauge

Found 2 on E-bay with small radius (3 to 4 cm), but quality on picts was clearly stated as "made in a hurry using cheap materials"

Anyone's using a nice little quality gauge for 0-100 psi range?

The Earl's gauge and adapter are available on eBay:

@Don C, yeah these are the same as my links above

the adapter is what I need, waiting only to order once I've found a smaller gauge and sure the fitting is right.

The diameter of the gauge is the prob. Its way too big.

On site above (link behave weirdly on this side of the ocean so here a pict)

Looks like most manufacturers use standard in-dash sizes for this pressure range.

All i've found in smaller diameters are in 0-15 pressure, none in 0-100 psi.

In standard diameters, no prob to find different qualities and finishes, like these

thx eddyw, all in standard sizes, not in smaller size like the one i had before...

But yeah good point, will call the "locals" to see if they have smaller models.

Went to garage to measure the old one on carb fuel line.

and remembered I actually might have another one I did not use for the carb as it was too high range.

A few boxes later found the baby back, an Accel

The same diameter as the old one, just under 39 mm, tho goes up to 60, not 100.

Sniper is said to be 60 psi... will give it a try, while I find a 0-100 of this size

Looks already nicer than the bigger versions.

The Earl's 0-100 gauge is 38.1mm (1.5 inches).

I don't guys. Many that are following NHRA rules of safety, as well as those that know NOT TO DRIVE WITH A GUAGE (they are for tuning and are to be replaced with a plug) are probably saying "man I wouldn't risk my life/car" with a very weak link in the fuel system!!

I read you prior life..........holley and 6lbs. Now you are running EFI with 40 PSI Min and a 255GPH pump? Just saying.

 

[Fabrice]

Very valid point SVO!

Just installed an inertia switch, so for sure I do care about safety.

I'm gonna follow your wise advise! Will order a plug or valve as well.
