fuel pres gauge

[KIRCHNER]

has anyone tapped into the shrader valve [laser] to run a gauge up to the dash? seemed simple enough, but cant find a coupler/connector from valve to poly hose line. its some kind of spec thread, need a female to thread on shrader valve? or a better way? any suggestions would help,tks ArtK

eliminated schrader with a "T"... ran braided stainless up to dash... gauge and stainless came from summit...........

You need a "gauge isolator" if you're going to run the line through the cockpit... so gasoline doesn't spray all over or the line fails or gets cut (or if the gauge fails and leaks).

ya keepin' tha "factory reg" and etc?.. always "pro stocked" all my laser junk..... as for a fuel leak. ya already have lotsa fuel junk in tha boat ta start with.. if worth a grain a salt then you would not increase tha chance of a fuel leak anymore than is already in tha boat.......... jmo.

Most of the fuel inside the boat isn't under "EFI" pressure or where it would spray onto your lap after a failure or accident... but to each his own.

I deleted the sponson tanks completely of fuel/fumes. one poly 18 gal,barely fit in the stern. as for the safety issue,ran a nhra s/pro for over 12 yrs. only failed insp once. i dont need the gauge to be permanent just to see if its causing the surging at wot.

thats what i set out ta do until i ran across a very nice "oversize" autometer that really brough all tha other gauges to tha fore front.. so it got mounted permanently............

Yes seems like the ideal unit would be an electronic sender that screws directly into the Schrader on the motor with a wire going up to the dashboard gauge...anyone know if one that would work like that?

[Aaronhl]

Maybe something like this ?? with adapter for the schrader
