Fuel Pressure Gauge Fitting

Does anyone know where I can get one that I can use to mount my Autometer Gauge directly onto my Aeromotive FPR? I couldn't find one on Jegs or Summits website..

If the gauge doesn't screw directly into the FPR's gauge port all you'd need is an adaptor that matches the threads on the gauge and the FPR. Any engineering shop that stocks brass hydraulic/pneumatic fittings will have one.

It depends on what Autometer gauge you got?

If you have the mechanical one, you need the "isolator kit".
All this is is a length of SS AN hose that you fill with a coolant solution - you CANNOT run gasoline inside the interior for most racing sanctions, and it's downright unsafe if you do - thus the coolant option.

If you have an electrical Autometer gauge, the sensor should right right onto the FPR no problem.

Yes, it's a 1/8NPT fitting on the FPR.

I believe he's mounting it directly onto the FPR, not in the cabin. But yeah, for cabin mounting you definitely need an isolator kit.

Ah, that makes more sense.

In that case, I would throw away the Autometer gauge and pick up any number of small 1/8"NPT gauges made to fit the FPR directly.
