Question Aftermarket fuel gauge?

Hi all,
I'd like to purchase a fuel rail fuel gauge. Did a search on the subject, saw a few posts about someone putting one on their car, but no info about where purchased.

Looked on the Pelican, 928 Specialists, 928 Int'l, and Devek sites as well, and I cannot seem to find where they might be listed. Carl, Susan, Mark, Jeannie? Anyone?

I've also had a few thoughts about a vacuum gauge and fuel pressure gauge in the cockpit area, though I realize the foolishness of a fuel source in the passenger area. I've heard of some gauges, where the pressure was read from a sensor? Anyone seen any of these?

Default Rail pressure guage

Brett, I have seen one on someone's car that posts here in a picture. It replaces the sealing ball bearing type piece and cap nut on the passenger side fuel rail on the front end. It is a pic on one of the maintenance tip sites, but I just can't remember which one. I will do some digging and let you know if I find it.

Hi Garrett,
Yes, I've seen one or two of these installations, but where did they get it? And cost?
Thanks for the reply!

Brett, they are widely available at various motor-sports shops. AutoMeter makes them. Summit Racing sells them (eg. part #ATM 2176). Andy supplies them as part of the SuperModel kit.

Hope this helps.

928 Specialist used to offer one but does not have it anymore.
I would like to buy one as well.

Cheers/Peter

I picked up the autometer gauge..Z series i believe...Summit also. Black, white lettters, orange needle. I went with the electric version vs mechanical. Electric eliminates the fuel in the cabin thing and has actually allowed me to log fuel pressure on my data logger!
works good!
