can i use a oil press gauge as a fuel press gauge?
hello everybody.
i got a AUTOMETER ultra lite electric oil pressure gauge with 100 psi sender. and i was thinking about using it as a fuel pressure gauge.
is it possible? anyone here ever did it?
can i destroy the sender like this?

Fuel Pressure Gauges are cheap. Why try something thats going to have the possibility of screwing up.
If it was electrically I think it might work. If it was mech. it may be a diaphram pressure gauge and the gasoline may eat away at the diaphram. Seen that happen before.
What happens if you want to run 450cc dsm injectors at 18psi of boost and about 320whp? 42psi aint going to cut it, bump it up to 50 or so and you good to go. Can't do that with a stock FPR.
