well if you have don't be shy, let's have a look


cheers

 

Well i did take my fuel pressure at the fuel rail today. wasnt such of a pretty setup, quite disapointing considering i paid 200$ for the kit.


Sorry for the blue towels, but you never are too cautious with gas!

 

I have fitted a permanent Fuel pressure Gauge to the 5/16 fuel hose going to the fuel rail on my XJR as shown in photo attached.
Purchased was a Speco (Australian brand) small fuel pressure gauge for EFI, cost A$40, plus a 5/16 to 5/16 barbed fitting with a 1/8npt port to screw the gauge into. Just a matter of cutting the line inserting the barbed fitting with gauge already screwed in. Installation has been on my vehicle for several years, no problems, leaks etc. & you have ready reference check for fuel pressure when experiencing running problems. Just lift the hood & check.

neat set ups guys, thanks for the replies, gives me some ideas to work with. Didn't think to to cut into the flexible fuel line.

thanks again

 

I've been considering a permanent fuel gauge, a possible future project, if and when I do it I'll post a couple of pics.

 

Finally got round to fitting a fuel pressure gauge, £21 from eBay, Reads round about 40psi when pump is priming and approx 32psi at tickover with a cold engine. Plumbed it in to flexible hose from fuel rail. I've attempted to add some pics but having never done this before I don't hold out much hope! Nope, think I've done it!

 

Am adding one as we speak - is part of the new fuel pressure regulator I'm fitting.

 

Now that's impressive.

 

Very Professional ! Is that an adjustable regulator that's threaded for a gauge and what make is it ? I also was under the impression the fuel pressure should be taken at the fuel rail in order to get a accurate reading that include the regulator in the test.

Its just an aftermarket universal adjustable one with gauge (found it on eBay), they are well used in the custom scene, so as my regulator was a bit "dodgy" thought I may as well replace it with this one.
Plus it looks funky!
Doubt it will stay there as I'm not massively happy with its location, so havn't made up the stainless AN6 hoses yet or a decent looking bracket.
