Default Where to tap into the fuel line?

I bought a few autometer guages and am wondering where to tap into the system for my fuel pressure guage (electrical)? I planed on the fuel rail until the NXL kit is bolted on. The directions, however, state DO NOT mount it to the fuel rail. Any Ideas?

Thanks
Shawn

you could put a simple T fitting between the fuel rail and the nitrous hose!, I have seen electrical fuel pres. guages hooked up to the fuel rail but I dont know why they say not to hook it up there, maybee because of possible electrical spark, dont make sense to me, just hook it up there

Yep, hook up off the T at Nitrous/Fuel test port.

Oh, the NXL....The NXL will have pretty clear instructions with it. Basically if the design stuck..you will d/c yoru fuel line feom the rail, remove the rails and all associated pieces, install the NXL bungs, Rails and associated pieces and then hook the fuel supply line up to the new rails.

For your average Wet kit guy, you remove the schradere valve, on the end of the drivers side fuel rail, and tap off that for your fuel to the fuel solenoid.
