OK, I'm troubleshooting a problem w/ the heep, and need to see the fuel pressure at the injector rail WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. My pressure gague has a 16" connector hose on it for hooking up to the fuel rail, so I can't be driving and monitoring the pressure at the same time...
My idea:
1- Remove the actual gague from my fuel pressure gague assembly (the assembly is a gague, a hose for bleeding, and a hose w/ connector to rail on a brass 'T')
2- Get a length of fuel hose, put 1/4" fittings on the ends (1 male 1 female)
3 - Install hose between assembly 'T' and the gague.
4 - Connect the orig. assembly to the fuel rail, and feed the extended gague through the seam @ hood
5 - Duct tape the gague in place so i can see it, and zip-tie the assembly in place so it's not touching hot parts.
My question(s):
1. Is this safe?
2. Will it be accurate?
