Fuel pressure gauge question

[chucknorris]

Can anyone advise: are you meant to leave the fuel pressure gauge on the regulator as I have heard from another builder that he has known them to leak in some instances (probably not on an Ultima and probably not the same make)

[Storer]

It is not recommended that you leave them on for the leak issue.

I fitted an electric sender and read fuel pressure on my SPA dash. It is basically an oil pressure sender that fit into the fuel regulator.

Hope that helps.

Hi Pete
A very knowledgable builder saw mine and said I should remove it just in case one of the belts lets go and removes it causing an engine fire.

Thanks guys, consider it removed, now where the heck did I put that grub screw that went in its place...😖

Yes - the factory removed mine when I sent it to them for IVA.

Oh..... didn't think that would be an issue, but mine is on my fuel rail and its a carb so only see's 6.5 psi....
Should I be removing that too?

My pressure gauge has been on the car for 11 years.
