Where did you get the rail mounted pressure gauge? The only one I have found so far is at Autozone for $45, but it has a hose and when you plug it in, it pours fuel onto the ground. I think that will solve the problem

LOL... You can get one for ~50 bucks from one of the vendors >>>>> Just take out shrader valve out on driver side rail and screw on the adapter then srcew in the guage to that.

My TA has the Nasty Performance rails, I put the guage on the passenger side by the adjustable regulator I put in.

How low do you let the tank get before filling it up? If you are going under 1/4 tank then you are letting the pump sit up out of the fuel. This could cause it to over heat and fail

If your talking to me, I had over 1/2 tank in the car. I knew this and tried to fill up befor eI tried to make it back home and it dies still.

she goes 200 miles between fillups. Never anymore. I filled it up and we had to squeeze every last drop to get 10.09 gallons in. I think its a 13.5 gal tank? 98s are different. Ok I will look into the gauge! Thanks for info.

Here is an older pic under the hood, but the guage is still in the same place.. If you have stock rails, it would go on the other side.

that is awesome! It is an option if we have to replace the fuel regulator
