Whats the difference?
Just thinking, pressure is pressure? So what is the difference in a fuel pressure and oil pressure guage besides the name and cost. Could an oil pressure guage be used as a fuel pressure guage on a diesel engine with the same accuracy? Diesel is oil, correct?:s:

I am using a speedway motors oil pressure digital gage for my fuel pressure, the gage and sending unit cost less then most sending units alone. the sending unit has acted up and a replacement is about '$11.00 ED

Yes, pressure is pressure, the gauge dont care how its made or whats making it.
We use 0-30psi mechanical gauges that you would buy at grainger or any industrial supply, plumb them with some hose, easy fuel pressure gauge for about 20 bucks. |
But ....I would only use a liquid filled one for oil or fuel.
|
Theres no difference - nthe intarnals are exactly the same. I ran a mechanical/industrial type pressure guage for quite some time before I got an actual fuel pressure guage. The only real problem was that you couldnt see it at night.

We do use liquid filled gauges now, we had an $5.00 el-cheapo gauge from autozone or somewhere die from the pressure pulses from the injection pump.
I think a good (non)-liquid filled gauge would work fine, but the price differance is only few dollors. |
