B&M fuel pressure gauge issue - Tuner-Junction

Quick question.... have any of you guys ever experienced issues with a B&M fuel pressure gauge. I have a little one that mounts on my Fuel rail. It just died on me and it only has 1800 miles on it

It started reading 110psi, which scared the hell out of me. After diagnosing I found out it was the gauge not the fuel system. I'm debating getting another one or switching to a different brand.

Any problems you guys have heard of with B&M??

I have a regular auto meter gauge but its not mounted to the fuel rail. I have it mounted towards the back i forget what the thing is called. and so far it hasnt given me any false readings.

that's kinda weird... although I haven't really heard any "great" reviews on B&M... but none really bad either...

I take it it mounts directly to the fuel rail, so there's no sender or anything? reads pressure direct, correct?

just try replacing it. I've seen numerous people online with that same gauge, with no problems... so maybe you just picked up a lemon.

WTF!!!!!

I went and bought another B&M fuel pressure gauge. I had it overnighted so I could get it in the car for this weekends NSX event. I just got home and I took a look........ the new one is busted again!!

Now I know it seems like maybe I'm doing something wrong, but hello......it's a damn pressure gauge!!! It just screws into the rail!! You can't mess it up. I'm gonna call them bitches up tomorrow and tell them they suck large SHO ass.

are your running any aditives in your gas? that might be cuasing a problem but I doubt it.

Just opt for an electric one with a sender if you can spare the cash, and place it inside your car that way if the sender breaks you can have it warrantied from autometer and you can always watch your fuel pressure and make sure its ok during boost.
