Default Autometer Fuel Pressure Gauge... Do they Leak??

I bought an electric Autometer Fuel pressure gauge for my gauge pod. Someone told me that they have heard that fuel pressure gauges are known for leaking. And that even electric ones have lots of problems.

Does anyone have one on their car, and if so, do you have any problems with it?

I want some opinions before I have it installed.

Thanks,

Dan

I installed #4363 6 months ago and have had no problems.You will need a special adapter to attach the sending unit to the end of the fuel rail. I found one at a hydrolic hose shop(part#6506-02-04,Description 1/8FPx1/4FJIC).

While I've never used the EFI psi gauge, I have about every other Autometer gauge on my other car (fuel level, tranny temp, oil psi, rpm, mph, A/F, etc.) and have had ZERO problems with any of them. Autometer customer service was very helpful too, and I would buy their products if given a choice...

I had to replace the sending unit. It was leaking just a few days after installing. The leak was at the seam of the can where it is stamped to the end cap. Bought a new one and it hasn't leaked.
