Hi All, I am fitting a guage to my r19 and i am trrying to find the pressure port to attach the copper line to. I have a bag full of adapters but i am unsure where to hook it to.
Is this attached to the fuel rail on the left hand side? as this is the only thing that resembles what i believe i am after.
THe Gauge is a splitfire Fuel Pressure Gauge.
As always any help is much appreciated

Hi there,
I Thought this myself but the Slitfire gauge only comes with a small Tpeice that is meant for the Vacume Gauge setup. The Fitting that come with the fuel press one are screw fittin one to engine and one for the fitment to the guage.
The screw fitting is the same size and thread as the one on the pressure port of the FSE valve. but i cannot attach to that as that port is for one time setups and fine tuning with a bigger guage.
On my fuel line i have the inlet and outlet ports for the feed and return pipes and toward the end on the left of the F7P fuel rail there is a port that runs under the engine to somewhere else. I was wondering if this was the one for the pressure.
If it is a tpeice i need for fuel line do you know what fitting i would need
Best regards

This may seem like a silly question, but what do you need a fuel pressure gauge for? Suspected dodgy fuel pump? |

need to cut the line and insert a T-piece.
the pressur ewill go up and down depending on engine vacuum not revs
Pressure is not indicitive of flow or pump health btw. |
