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.
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.

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 ***.

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.

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.
