Fuel rail good place to pickup fuel pressure on DI

[Eagant5]

I’m wanting to put a fuel pressure gauge on my rxdi so I can monitor fuel pressure. I had an extra fuel rail laying around so I was looking at it and found a little plastic plug right below where the feed lines good in. I tapped it 1/8npt and was going to put a 90 degree fitting in it the put a fuel pressure gauge on it. My question is, is that a good spot to pick up accurate fuel pressure? I figured the rail would be just as good if not better spot then in line of the fuel line some where.

Interesting. I like this idea if it works....

Finished installing the Gauge. I used an 1 1/2 long 1/8npt nipple so the gauge would clear the rail, then just put a 90 on it to the gauge. It worked out great and it’s nice being able to monitor fuel pressure.

Where did u get your fuel pressure gauge?

Got it from summit. I had to do some searching to find one that went higher then 100psi. Summit parts # fue-71501.
