Default Where do I install my fuel pressure sensor???

I am installing a glow shift fuel pressure gauge. Where do I install the sensor? Can I install in at the end of the fuel rail, thought that was where I would have to install it.

As close to the rails or injectors as possible.

Or if you have a return style FPR, just install it there, almost all have a port for it.

I bought this adapter. I believe it's what I need to attach to the end of the fuel rail.

Looks like that will screw onto the nipple fitting on rail that usually has a screw off cap. I would think you can put that directly to rail fitting.

Do not install the sender on the rail. This is what happened to me and almost caused a big fire:


Run a short length of proper An line and have the sender mounted somewhere else.

I'd never hand any weight off the rails or fittings like that. The way people mount FPR's directly to the rails also worries me

Always best to remote mount anything with weight on a flexible line

I am using a mount that Mighty Mouse makes that attaches it to your brake booster. I really like it because it's it of the way and a solid mount
