Hi Mark, Thanks for the outstanding data! I have a new regulator to install and have previously installed a vacuum gauge, probably not as accurate as your's. I was planning on installing a VDO pressure sensor in the gas line and using David Beierl's idea and wire it to my oil pressure gauge through a switch. Do you have any idea where to get a schraeder valve fitting to measure the fuel pressure without having to open the system? I was thinking about going to the junkyard and clipping one out. Joe |
