Bought a new fuel pressure gauge
« on: March 16 2012, 05:15:46 PM »
Bought this for $85.00 - I figure the sender, if accurate, is worth that. Not sure what type/range of signal it puts out, but I hope to tie it into PowerLogger as well. I will test is with a working mechanical gauge.



Any caveat to using something like this?

The display and bezel colors aren't my favorite - but I will pair it with a similar air/fuel ration gauge. I've had a similar model on the T for year. I know some will say they are useless - but I like them.

Old model I have in the T:

I like my fuel gauge tied into the PL. I have enough to look at, it's invaluable to be able to play it back when you're tuning and troubleshootig . I agree, you should def. check it's accuracy against a mechanical gauge. The transducer is the key (which usually starts a whole other discussion)
 Narrow band? Doesn't it just fluctuate back and forth? Looks good though if your trying to impress the girls. Oh right, your married. :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

I bought it mostly for the transducer.. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of LED gauges - but I care more about functionality over looks. :D
