Accel rail mount FP gauge
Accel rail mount FP gauge
I bought one from Scamchargers for $52.99 and installed it. I went for a test drive around the block and came back to test for leaks. Upon checking, I noticed that fuel had begun to leak in the gauge by the dial.
I took it off and took it back.
Anyone else had this problem?

Never had a problem.
Come to think of it, there is fluid in the gauge. My guess it's used as a damper for vibration, but it's not gas.

I've never had that problem with mine. Only problem I had was over tightening the connector and causing a leak. POS brass fitting. Did you put teflon tape on the threads on the gauge that go into the L shaped brass piece?
