Re: can i use a oil press gauge as a fuel press gauge?
yes you can
dont listen to these honda-tech members; do it and it'll be great. All the sender is is a pressure transducer; if it'll stand up to oil it'll stand up to gas; its not like its on fire inside the transducer. |

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.

my buddy has 332whp on a ls engine with 18psi of boost

Re: can i use a oil press gauge as a fuel press gauge?
that's still not as ghetto as I've thought of going before.... When i was looking at how expensive boost guages are i almost went with a low psi air compressor guage... :6

Re: can i use a oil press gauge as a fuel press gauge?
electric oil pressure gauge works fine as a fuel pressure gauge, and it's a lot cheaper too. most of them have 1/8 npt fitting on the sending unit also, which is the same as most fuel pressure gauges, so it works out great. btw, hotrex is a fag.

Re: can i use a oil press gauge as a fuel press gauge?
and you stupid for your suggestion..........nice way to burn a car to the ground!!!!!!!!!!!
the sending unit while they might LOOK the same, use different materials for the pressure diaphram. Gasoline will eat the oil pressure gauge daiphram, causing a leak and fire. |

Re: can i use a oil press gauge as a fuel press gauge?
anyone in the Cincy area know Tim @ BASZ.......we and NOT good friends to say the least.............
But he burnt up a 6g Civic when he went cheap and used a oil pressure sender for fuel. Autometer used to offer a short sweep fuel pressure setup using the correct sender, but even it was discontinued because of failures. Look into Nordskog or Cyberdyne...... |

Mista Bone says otherwise, and for somereason I think he's trustworthy, so i'd be carefull if you decide to attempt it. |
