Quality fuel pressure gauge kit?

[plain garage]

I'm chasing a fueling issue on my car, and would like to invest in a quality set of fuel pressure gauge + adaptors. I have found in the long run, it is better to go for quality instead of price. I have the long acre tire gauges and milton tire chucks, both made in USA and in my opinion of excellent quality. Can anyone recommend a good set of fuel pressure gauge?

It will probably depend upon what vehicles you are working on. The more expensive kits come with lots of adapters that you may never use.

My car has the standard schrader valve on the fuel rail. I'd like to get an accurate pressure gauge 1-100psi with pliable rubber hose and the regular schrader valve adaptor. Its been my experience quality tools tend to be more expensive but im not looking for an expensive gauge, im looking for a good quality gauge.

Well that's easy - just pick one from Amazon that has good reviews.

Examples:

- ATD 5567
- OTC 5630

You can also replace the gauge on one of these kits with a higher-quality gauge if you so desire.

The HF one is ****. The guage is off by a couple psi and the needle sticks.

Does it say "US General" on the box? I have one and it works excellent.

Any car with OBDII and you should be able to read the pressure from that.

I have the OTC, its ok, the fitting kit left a little to be desired. But a psi or 2 shouldn't be a deal breaker, I wouldn't have an issue with the HF either.

Not on a lot of older stuff, and you will also want to be able to compare the sensor reading with the actual pressure.
