Accel Fuel Pressure Gauge

Can you use the Accel Fuel Pressure Gauge with the Holley ADFP? If not what can I use?

I had the fuel rail mounted Accel fuel pressure gauge on my GTA. I also have the Holley AFPR. One really doesn't have much to do with the other, except that you need a fuel pressure gauge to adjust the pressure after you install the AFPR.

By the way, I eventually removed the Accel gauge because it stopped working accurately and I felt that it had become a fire hazard. I would buy a quality removable-type fuel pressure guage for use when adjusting the pressure. Remember to relieve the pressure safely before connecting and disconnecting the gauge, especially with a warm engine.

A liquid filled gauge can be permanently mounted to the fuel rail via the schrader valve. The Accel gauge is not liquid filled and specifically says not to mount permanently. And as you stated it doesnt matter what gauge you use with your AFPR. Pressure is pressure. It cannot tell what gauge or regulator you use and I dont think it really cares.

Yeah I am sorry I forgot that it connects to the shradder valve.
