What brand of fuel pressure gauge would you all recommend using? I would perfer it to be electronic because I dont want the chance of a mechanical line bursting or leaking. Im getting to the point on my car that I would like to keep an eye on the fuel pressure for safety sake. Money is somewhat of an object. I want a good gauge but I dont want to pay a fortune for it.

I bought a Stewart Warner electric from Summit a couple months ago. I can't remember exactly but I think it was like $40ish. Works well also.

I've got the same one and it was almost exactly double that - still much cheaper than the others I saw listed. Nice guage too.

I am probably wrong on the price. I'm suffering from CRS (can't remember s--t). Still a nice cheaper gauge.

I also have the S-W electric FP gauge. I love the thing. I have it mounted on my dsh right beside my S-W vac/boost gauge. And with my other NEW S-W gauges, I was able to get some LED's to put in them and they look even more fantastic! I went green all the way Wink .

Here are some pics of mine:

I used a mechanical AutoMeter with a 3ply wrap areomotive line[in cab] rated at 500psi. I used to build dump trucks and we would have line left over like crazy. I did my complete mustang fuel system with this line. If you have the money electric all the way
Its a 2.3 until you hear the whistle
