[DeTomaso] Techno Questions: Fuel Pressure Gauges

[Charles Engles]

Dear Larry and Asa,

            Larry:  Glycerin gel ("liquid filled", I believe?) replacement gauges.  Right

             Asa:  In my unfortunate field testing  with running out of gas, I can confidently tell you that the gas gauge (if wired correctly into the Pantera wiring harness) reads zero before the fuel pressure gauge does..............  Sigh. 

             So.....glycerin gel gauges, then.

                            Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

       Dear Guys,


                I have been using a smallish Mr. Gasket mechanical fuel
       pressure gauge on the AN fuel line to the carb on both Panteras.  Both
       of the fuel pressure gauges have gone inoperative.


               Dumb techno questions:  Is it possible to soak them in lacquer
       thinner or an equivalent to dissolve internal schmutz?.....or....


                                                                 Is it better
       and simpler to buy another fuel pressure gauge?......If so, then any
       recommendations for durable, reliable small fuel pressure gauges?



                          Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
