Weird Fuel Pressure Gauge Problem
I have an autometer fpg mounted on a pod, but I didn't install it. It reads a very steady ~58 lbs all the time, but when you put the brake pedal to the floor, the needle drops instantaneously to zero. The light stays lit, but the reading falls out completely. I'm not loosing pressure; it's like the power feed to the gauge is somehow getting cut out when I hit the brake. I'm assuming it has to do with where it is getting power, but I haven't torn into it yet.
Has anyone else ever seen this?

I'd bet the ground on the guage return is getting swamped by
the return on brake lights. Should be pretty easy to trace -
the pillar covers just pull right off...

Just really odd.
