Fuel pressure tester
hey guys looking to find a fuel pressure tester. All the general auto stores I go to the fuel pressure testers boxes say don't use on diesels. Should I go ahead and use one of theses gauges ? Or do I have to order a special gauge ? I have the Schauder valve connecter for the fuel bowl already. If you have any special websites to get one please post.
Thanks

Just grab a 0-100 water filled gauge and run with it. There's nothing special needed. They most likely are referring to "don't use on diesels" because of the high pressures later models can make. Like a CP3 powered truck like mine that makes 26k+ psi.

You will need a "Fuel Port Adaptor (M12 1.5)", Schrader or other connection that works in conjunction with whatever Gauge Kit you purchase. You will want a Gauge 0-160 PSIG so you can use it on other applications unless you're spending the cash just for your diesel.
Ps: The do not use on diesels does not apply to HEUI Systems.
