So I'm thinking my fuel pressure gauge sending unit has gone bad. A new one is over 1/2 the price of the complete gauge kit. After talking to the guy at autometer I'm starting to think that the sending units are where they are making all the money. Plus after reading online reviews the SU are the main complaints not lasting very long. The guy at autometer said vibration is a problem and to remote mount it. He also said they use them for data logging and have zero issues. Aren't these gauges made for automotive/racing? They should be durable enough to handle the vibration, after all guys are putting them on cars . Sssseeesh

Guess I’ll be trying some elcheapo brand X unit if thats all the better the autometer units holds up.

Thats nuts. Ops of all kinds mount direct to block. We’ve mounted a bunch of sensors direct to blocks, pumps, etc and never had them dying.

The only difference on ops and fps is rating for ethanol.

There is no ethanol fuel in Alaska. They dont have a surplus of corn farmers.

Well then, there ya go. Get an ops with same ohm range and problem solved

If Leroy or John offered a kit for this I'd be game for one. I love having fuel pressure readout in our old cat powered semi. tells alot about what is happening.

I've been saying a kit would be awesome for years. I hate figuring out was is needed and where to buy.

Either John or Leroy or both said there wasn't enough interest to put something together.
