John Scott Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 Why the HUGE difference in price for the electrical fuel pressure guages? I'm getting quotes for around $180 for electrical! A mechan is only mid $30s. I really don't want a cowl mounted guage. One model electric (0-100)Auto meter 2 1/16 for only $79.95. Has anyone tried this model? What is everyone else using? I need a 0-25psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 0-25PSI shouldnt be that much for an electrical...except they require isolators and even then some won't rules don't allow the gauge in the cockpit. I'm using an Intellitronix electrical, 0-100PSI, about $80 I think. The sender T's into the line and electrical wires run to the gauge. The send cost around $30.

BLKMGK Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Consider using a low pressure oil pressure gauge if th erange will work for you. I bought one of the early "high pressure" fuel gauges from JBA way back in about '89. Yup, it was the SAME as a VDO oil pressure including sender but it had been relabeled! I paid WAY too much for that puppy and was most PO'ed at JBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Autometer sending unit on mine is leaking. not sure how or why but it leaks when i tested it at 70psi. What a crock. I got it used, looks like i got bent over. Im looking into a ghetto way to fix it now Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
