Fuel Pressure monitoring in 914

Hi Joaquim,

Here are some photos of my installation. 

All hardware is stainless steel AN4, the pressure sender is angled so it will drain upon engine shutdown preventing old fuel “gumming” in the sensor.

A double banjo bolt is used, one banjo for fuel pressure & one to feed the 1/3 carburettor.

The feed banjo and hose (in black fire sleeve) replaces the original pipe and goes to the fuel flow transducer (red cube) that I have mounted on the engine mount then on to the 1/3 carburettor.

It is possible to use this method of mounting the fuel pressure sender and retain the original pipe, 1/3 or 2/4 side, also using a double banjo bolt however I don't know if there is room for this in the S10. Maybe, if there is not room, you could install the additional banjo and run a hose to the sensor mounted remotely?

For the air box pressure sense to the fuel pressure sender, I have removed the plug and inserted a nipple, part number 940551, in the spare position (item 9 of the attached IPC diagram) in the air box with hose part number 860660 going to the sender, this does not disturb any of the original sensing installation.

Of course this is not to say it is the best way, only to say it is the way I have chosen, others may not like it.

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Des.

Hi Des,

Thanks so much. Your explanation together with the photos made it crystal clear for me! 😀

Congrats on your installation - it looks super clean and well thought!

Thanks,

Joaquim
