Default Fuel pressure Gauge on Fuel Rail

Does anyone have a picture of where they have mounted their fuel pressure gauge inside of the engine bay? I have a Summit mechanical fuel pressure gauge and am not sure where to mount it underneath the hood. Thanks

You mount it right to the rail, Casper electronics makes a nice adapter. Thats what i did, pull the valve out of the rail use a adapter an make sure to use teflon tape for the fitting.

If I remember correctly the fitting on the fuel rail is AN and those do not require teflon tape?


You can buy the valve remover from AutoZone or any local auto parts store for about $3-4

Here is a couple of photos of my setup.
The Rails are F.A.S.T, it comes with a couple of reducer adapters, which i didn't use, I cant recall sizes or anything,. but i didn't use Teflon tape for anything.
