Alright guys, I got my Summit fuel pressure gauge in. I also got the 3/8" attachment. (Hopefully that's the right size) Anyways, I was planning on cutting into the rubber part of the fuel line by the steering box, however, I'm not sure as to which line to cut in to. There are 2 fuel lines going into the back of the TBI, so which one is feed line and which one is the return line? If there is such a thing. . . ????

Thanks,

the 3/8ths is the feed the 5/16ths is the return. Trace the rubber back to some hard line for the dimensions. Basically the big one is feed.

Thanks man. Now hopefully I can measure right.

 

if u have tbi the feed line is the one going to the passenger side of the throttle body if that helps any. i put my guage right where the rubber line meets the steel line near your alternator. and it works great.

 

Well that's what I was doing until I snapped off the screw part on the gauge. I have to order another one. This time I'm going to use some teflon tape. The one I broke never did seem to thread well.

 

coorect me if im wrong but isnt the feed line the bigger line?? well if so i got a 91 tbi and the feed is on the driver side

 

fuel inlet is on the drivers side, fuel return is on passenger side

 

When I put mine in it didn't thread very well either, it must be a defective batch or something. I just got it in as much as I could without stressing it too muach and used some threadlocker to seal/lock it in place. It's been on for about a month and 2000 miles with no problems.

 

Thread locker? I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it. I was just going to use some teflon tape on the next one to see if will spin any easier.

 

do you guys have any pictures did you just cut the metal line and use a rubber pice to clamp it or did you use a fitting and if i were to just use a rubber hose and a clamp would it work or would the pressure make it leak?

 

Here's my Summit fuel pressure gauge installed in the 3/8" rubber fuel line.

 

Well I got my new gauge, this time going with a Russell gauge, and some teflon tape. I'm still having no luck with threading the gauge onto the fitting. I'm getting very upset with this thing. I'm thinking about calling Summit and complaining that their fitting is absolutely worthless.

Anybody have any ideas on how to get this thing screwed together???

Gkk thats not your fuel pressure setting is it it looks loike its at 12psi are'nt we sappossed (cant spell) to hav e it around 15 psi?

 

hey guys i want to put my fuel pressure gauge inside my car how can i do that?

 

Buy an autometer electric fuel pressure gauge.

 

How much are the electric ones and how hard are they to put in???

 

do the autometer ones bring all that is needed for instalation or do u have to buy something apart?

 

if so list what i need to buy
