yeah, just a quick question-
Is it legal to run mechanical fuel/oil pressure guages into the car ??
If the lines leak, it could create some problems .. just wondering ?? |

your aloud to have oil press ones, but not fuel pres (they even say on the face of the gauge that its not to be mounted in the cabin.

just because people do it doesnt make it legal.
Question? why does the fuel/oil have to come all the way up through to the gauge? why cant the pressure be taken at a different point and just show it in the cabin? just like the fuel gauge and the speedo, it's not like there's a wheel moving round behind the speedo |

umm youd find out the fuel guage is electrical, and the speedo isnt a fluid. |
