[DeTomaso] Any Issue with using an Oil Pressure Gauge for Fuel Pressure???

[Ken Green]

Jack,
 
    The MSD gauges are "suppose" to be super accurate.  This is a turbocharges injected application, so fuel pressure will be about 43 PSI + boost (using a boost reference pressure regulator).  All the Autometer fuel pressure gauges are 15 PSI for carbs and 100 PSI for EFI.

None except for an accuracy issue- gauge accuracy is usually 2% or 5% of FULL 
SCALE deflection, so a 0-15 psi carbureted gauge will be much closer to 
correct than a 0-100 psi gauge if both were connected to the same fuel pump.
You 
might be able to 'tweek' the accuracy in the gauge works if it makes
any 
difference to you. FWIW- J Deryke
