Never have liked the idea of a Fuel Pressure guage attached permanently to the Fuel rail - or anywhere else under the hood. Usually these are fairly cheap pressure guages, and in the experience of many can fail internally, sometimes resulting in a dangerous gas leak(from the guage or fitting) under your hood while driving! IMO-Don't do it! Ciao.

Buy a proper test guage from Sears. The only time you can see the perminantly installed ones is wher the hood is open anyway so why have it hooked up all th etime when it can fail and cause a fire

I don't advise using the Accel gauge for perm. mounting on the fuel rail.
I had one on the IROC-Z and on the Vette and after a year or so each began to leak fuel into the gauge front face...

I bought the pillar pod below to install electrical gauges on the inside. For just a single fuel gauge and pod it would cost about $230.
