300tdi 52mm Fuel Pressure gauge anyone?
I've decided to go gauge mad and basically get every conceivable engine reading possible. I'm an aircraft mechanic by trade, and all our aircraft have far more gauges (I don't mean horizons, altimeters etc I mean engine monitoring) than cars.

So far, I have EGT, oil pressure, and turbo (volt also, but that's not engine), but I also plan on having RPM, oil temp, and I am now thinking of the fuel system.

I have not heard of anyone installing a built in fuel pressure gauge to any Defender. I am pretty sure, when the time [eventually] comes to buy the kit, I can install it, but has anyone done it? And my main question is where to put it?

I'd like to put it after the injector pump, but obviously all that's left after that is the injector lines - so unless I try and stuff it between the pump and the start of the lines, that probably isn't going to happen - and I doubt I could do that without needing modified lines due to where they will sit.... Any ideas?

And don't try and put me off it! Rolling with laughter 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top
