you need to T into the fuel lines, and put the FP sender unit there.

I hope you're kidding.
If you aren't could you tell me why you would run a pressurized fuel line INSIDE the passenger compartment?

yeah no doubt, if you want it in the pass. compartment, get an electical guage. then the sending unit should plug into your T , and all you are running is an electrical wire into the pass compartment.

dude $70 is a small price to pay for safety, you do not every want to run a fuel line through the car.

or in case it leaks, and the fumes get into the cabin and you hit the turn signal, and BOOM goes the car, there are a ton of 'what ifs' that you are opening yourself up to if you try to run fuel lines in the car.

Autometer sells a F/P gauge with an isolator. Fuel pressurizes a diaphragm; this in turn sends a water/anifreeze mix to the gauge inside the vehicle.
