I was going to order these gauges forr my truck. While searching for the lowest price I found a statment on summits page. This gauge is not recomended for dodge diesel applications. What is this all about?

WUnderwood

you have to tell us specifically WHAT gauges you were going to buy

As long as they are 2" gauges they should be fine. I had autometers in my truck and traded them for the isspros and now I wish I had the autometers back. Just make sure you get a 60 psi boost gauge instead of the 30 psi. For fuel pressure, make sure you get a regulator so you are not pumping straight diesel fuel inside the cab. The idiots I had install my autometers had straight diesel fuel pumping straight into my cab. Thats why I had them take everything out. I ended up ordering the isspros and installed them myself.

The only Autometer gauge that I've seen say not intended for diesel is the electric fuel pressure. It's because the electric sender doesn't like vibration or high PSI fuel pulses. Most use an isolator for the electric sender consisting of a grease gun hose. I just used a 6" piece of rubber fuel line. The fuel pulse I think was from the p pump days so I didn't worry about that. So far so good with about a year on the FP gauge.

My Autometer Electric Fuel Pressure gauge was installed with the FASS about a year ago now. I have not had any issues with it. Sender is T'd into the fuel line from FASS to CP3 about where it runs under the firewall.

I was looking at the C2 electric fuel. What should I be getting from them? I like the look of the C2. Thanks

This is what summit repled back with a fe minutes ago.

We do not have anything for the Dodge applications. The problem is the extreme fuel pressure at startup.

Thanks,

Why is it not designed for a doge diesel? I was going to order it then I saw
that in the notes. What gauge do you recomend for this applaction then?

Well mine is an Autometer Ultra-Lite Electric Fuel Pressure Model 4360. I am not sure what extreme fuel pressure at startup that they refer to. I do not see that on my gauge.

If you call Autometer's tech support people and ask for a fuel pressure snubber, they'll send it to you, 10 bucks if I remember. There is no part number for it, just tell them you have a CTD and need the snubber. It absorbs any pulses in the fuel system and keeps the sender from getting hammered.

QWKRTNU

Thats what I am trying to figure out. Theres is the only page I found that on. I was just looking for the cheapest price and came across this. It says it on all there fuel gauges they sale

QWKRTNU

Ok i will call them and order a snubber. Thanks

i have a 30psi FP gauge....they originally sent me a 15psi. The 15 gave up eventually....staying pegged all the time, it just died before i got my 30. with the 30 it works great.

I did what Staarma did... Added a small length of hose to isolate the sender from the cp3. Works fine... No need to spend money elsewhere...

turbobob- is correct- call autometer- ask for cory in tech support- good guy! you need a snubber!!

QWKRTNU

I called autometer and ordered the snubber. It was 10 dollars shipped. Thanks. Anyone know where to get the best deal on gauges I am looking all over the best I have found is 222.99 for 4360.
