What fuel pressure are you running? Engine oil pressure senders are usually
good for about 40 PSI mid-scale - not too accurate down at 14, or worse yet,
3-4 psi. No reason not to use one if the pressure range is right - just
don't use one from a Toyota - we called them oil "pisser" sensors for good
reason!!
