Did you install a Schrader valve?

I remember a million years ago someone put a stock regulator where you tapped in and left the stock regulator, so they had 2 stock regulators and there was never over-run with a bigger pump. Looking back on it, someone should have been making rails that accepted 2 stock fprs instead of afpr kits.

I honestly cannot think of a reason to have a fuel pressure gauge on our cars.

That’s funny.. actually this this was a boredom/need kinda deal.. it’s not a DD and I was pretty sure it was a fuel pressure problem that was haunting me but no easy access for a quick pressure reading so I looked around the shop and noticed that fitting…I was lucky enough to have a tap that I need to mount it and why not.. what’s IT gonna hurt.??

So, the barely noticeable fuel pressure was identified and was eventually traced back to the fuel pump that worked its way out so the o-ring was letting all that sweet pressure to blow back into the tank, made spacer to hold pump snug and voila..!! Tons of pressure =tons of BOOST.. , was fun.. no schrader, just a good cap…

Really no need for a FPG as long as relief valve is working.. my problem was I had fuel, just wasn’t sure how much . I was plenty bored so I thought “what’s IT gonna hurt??” Nothing.. so there it is..!! Was kinda fun though..
