Do you run that fuel pressure gauge full time, or is it just a plug n play for adjusting settings?
Only reason I ask is bc I like the look of it, but am having 2nd thoughts with all these engine fire stories.

Well, thank you very much.
That fuel gauge is there full-time. I've had fuel leaks, but never from that gauge. And they were not "catastrophic" leaks, they were dribbles working themselves up to become catastrophic. But, the nice thing about today's crappy fuels is that a small fuel leak leaves a tell-tale puddle of brown goo that looks like maple syrup. Very easy to detect. The downside of that gauge, and all other gauges like it, is that when the heat hits it from the outside, and the cool gas hits it from the inside, it gets confused and gives out the wrong readings. But, the upside is that it is very consistent with its error pattern, so, once you get to know it, it will tell you what you need to know, even if it is telling you the wrong number.
