Has anyone (permanently) mounted a fuel pressure gauge?

I'm considering mounting a digital fuel pressure gauge, just to see what's happening under driving conditions.

I'd like to just find a sensor that threads right onto the valve at the fuel rail, but I've not found anything like that. Does anyone know of this particular setup?

I'll just answer my own question.

Summit sells an adapter that is -4AN on one side, and 1/8 NPT on the other.

This allows you to thread a pretty standard fuel pressure sensor on. You feed it 5V, and output can go straight to a logging solution, or even just a multimeter.

Oh yes, remove the valve core.

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering what sort of adapter is required. You obviously have an electronic sensor connected, any issues with leaving it hooked up permanently?

I guess adapter is as he posted. The sensor will send the signal to your gauge most guys will have the zeitronix setup and of course it's permanently mounted. No issues with that at all.

I was more concerned with a small chunk of metal hanging off the rail and vibrating. That sender looks a lot more lightweight than older ones I have seen.
