Fuel Pressure gauges (w/o Isolator)
wARNINg:
If pressure gauge is used in a fuel application, the gauge
must be mounted outside of the vehicle. This will prevent
the possibility of a gas fume explosion in the vehicle interior.

To Mount Inside of Vehicle:
0-15 PSI, 0-100 PSI: Must use full sweep electric model, or mechanical gauge with Auto Meter Fuel
Pressure Isolator. See catalog or visit www.autometer.com for more information.
To Mount Outside of Vehicle:
Note: Only Auto Meter Liquid Filled and Ultra-Nite Gauges are water resistant! User should take appropriate
precautions to protect all other Auto Meter instruments from getting wet. Failure to protect your
gauges from water sources can result in inaccurate gauge readings or complete failure of the product.
Instruments that have sustained water damage are not covered under warranty.
1. Determine best location for mounting the Fuel Pressure gauge outside of the vehicle. Mounting cup
kit 5201 or 5202 is recommended for mounting gauges on vehicle’s cowling in front of windshield.
Drill necessary hole and install rubber grommet where pressure line passes through sheet metal.
2. -4AN braided stainless steel tubing is recommended because of the highly flammable nature of
racing fuel. Use Auto Meter kit 3227 or 3228. DO NOT USE NYLON OR COPPER TUBING WITH
COMPRESSION FITTINGS.
3. Route pressure line through grommet to engine compartment, keeping line free from hot engine
components or moving parts. Plumb line into vehicle’s fuel line. Be sure to use teflon sealing tape
on all tapered threads for a good seal.
4. Start engine and thoroughly check for any leaks.
5. Connect WHITE light wire to dash lighting circuit or to other 12V source. Connect BLACK light wire
to an engine ground.

Should excess air in the fuel side of the isolator cause erratic gauge action,
bleed excess air out by just loosening the bleed screw enough to allow air
passage. Do not remove the bleed screw.Tighten screw when fuel trickles out.
Fuel Pressure gauges (w/ Isolator)
1. Install gauge and tubing assembly in an in-dash hole that is 2 1 ⁄
16
" in
diameter for 2 1 ⁄
16
" models and 2 5 ⁄
8
" diameter for 2 5 ⁄
8
" models. Gauge may
also be mounted in Auto Meter Accessory underdash panels. Securely
mount gauge using mounting bracket provided. If mounting gauge is
somewhere other than in-dash or underdash, you may be required to
fabricate necessary provision.
2. Isolator must be mounted in engine compartment. (DO NOT mount
on firewall per NHRA/IHRA rules.) Drill two 17 ⁄
64
" dia. holes in desired
location. Mount isolator mounting bracket using the bolts, lockwashers,
and nuts provided. gauge and isolator should be mounted at the
same height to insure accurate readings. If not mounted level with
each other, the fluid weight will cause a slight accuracy error.
3. Drill a 7 ⁄
8
" dia. hole in firewall in line with center of mounting bracket. Route
the braided tubing through hole into engine compartment.
4. With filled portion of isolator in upright position, remove dust plug. Pull
braided tubing through center of isolator bracket and hold end in upright
position. Remove dust plug and quickly thread braided tubing into isolator
port (be careful not to spill any fluid).
NOTE: Fluid leaking from system will cause gauge to read incorrectly. If
leakage occurs, fill isolator with solution of half water, half propylene
glycol (antifreeze). Repeat Step 4.
5. Secure fuel pressure isolator to mounting bracket using the lockwashers
and nuts provided.
6. Slit rubber grommet provided and position in firewall hole so braided
tubing holds firmly in place.
7. Determine most desirable location (in line between fuel pump and
carburetor) to plumb into fuel system. Thread necessary adaptor fittings
into fuel side of isolator.
NOTE: Use thread sealant on all pipe threads to insure a leak free seal.
8. Tee isolator into vehicle’s fuel system. We highly recommend that Auto
Meter braided stainless steel tubing (Models 3227, 3228, or 3229) be
used for this application.
9. With engine running, check to make sure gauge pointer moves in a
smooth manner and reads the correct idling pressure.
10. Connect white light wire to dash lighting circuit or other 12V source.
Connect black wire to good engine ground.
See NHRA/IHRA rulebook, or your sanctioning
body for specific position requirements.

IMPORTANT: Both the 0-15 and 0-100 PSI Fuel Pressure Gauges must be mounted outside the
vehicle unless an Auto Meter Fuel Gauge Isolator is used in conjunction with the Gauge.
This is required to prevent the possibility of fire or explosion in the vehicle’s interior.
