I tried to get a loan of one to check the output of My electric fuel pump but no one seems to have one...
I did see one for sale somewhere but it was around $100...
as I only needed it to use Once... I thought it too expensive..

They are cheap in the US so I'm told... but then most things are cheap in the US...

Best of Luck...

40mm dial x 1/8 "bspt
50mm dial x 1/8 "bspt * around $32.00 each *
63mm dial x 1/8 or 1/4 bspt * around $38.00 each *
100mm dial x 1/4 bspt

all are rear entry brass internals ss case

I can get the VW logo on the face , need a order for say 20 units the same size .

Mmmm , was planning to put it just in front of t piece that goes off to carbs. After regulator. 5" sounds good would be mounted centrally in engine bay. Need all hardware

Is this easily fitted into the standard rubber fuel lines , like a fuel filter??

Cheers Dan;)

robnjo - December 26th, 2004 at 05:36 PM

you can leave them connected but not set-up inside your car.

Dannyboy - December 26th, 2004 at 05:39 PM

If it's a fuel pressure regulator you need Buy a Malpassi one. It's the only decent one made. call Carburettor Service Co ... 240 PARRAMATTA ROAD, BURWOOD NSW 2134 PH: 02 9747 4066.. about $100, but worth it.

I fitted a VDO brass one (black face) 0-15psi (for carbs, not FI). Can't remember if it was 1/8" Bspt or Npt. ~20-25mm diameter. More that big enough.
Bought from VDO distributor. Been on Andy for a few years now.
Can't find any pics sorry.

I've got a 15 psi gauge fits inline and the T piece for the carbs and the hose and the Malpassi adjustable fuel pressure regulator. It is all about a year old , I am going to an injected motor so I have no need for it. Sell it all for $130.

ian.mezz - December 29th, 2004 at 11:33 AM

Dannyboy - December 29th, 2004 at 08:38 PM
