fuel pressure gauge Im looking for some pics of people running small fuel pressure gauges on their stock LS1 fuel rails, on the schrader valve. Is it true that stress fractures will occur?

Ive had a Jegs FPG on my rail for about 2 months now with no problems. If you use the gauge adapter from casper electronics (sponser) the gauge sits very close to the rail. But ive seen people go to AZ or some parts store a get 3 different fittings to connect it all. Going that route will cause your gauge to sit about 2 inches from the rail and it that case I would be worried about fractures. Hope that helps

I'll take $10 plus shipping and will take a MO or Cashier's check.
I'm an honest seller and will ship as soon as the funds clear.
I can take a picture if need be.
Shoot me a PM if you want it.
Thanks,

I used an adapter plus a short length of 1/8 pipe + right angle fitting with my FPG (to clear FRC's) has been installed for 4 years now with absolutely no problems - we're talkin ounces here, not pounds stress fractures should be no problem

no no no. The jegs gauge screwes onto the casper adapter, then you screw the whole thing onto the threads that the end cap screw onto. You have have remove the schrader valve by unscrewing it like you would a car tire.
