Where to get reasonably priced inline, under-bonnet pressure gauge, for a fuel injected engine.

Thanks

rally design?

I've got a fuel pressure gauge on my dash - I have fuel injection and wanted to be sure the mods' I made to the fuel tank weren't causing fuel starvation in corners etc...

I have used a Smiths Oil Pressure gauge and simply changed the wording on the face using some stick-on white letters.

I checked with a materials expert I work with and he confirmed that if the gauge can withstand use with engine oil then it will also withstand petrol.

the race tech 52mm fuel pressure gauge is hard to beat new at about £20 iirc

it can be mounted in the dash or under the bonnet on a suitable panel...

I got something made up at my local industrial hydraulic place for around £15.
