[Diy_efi] [slightly ot] Differential Pressure Measurement gauge, alternatives ?

[Rick McLeod]

Nope. I wasn't assuming that, just suggesting to monitor w/ an electronic vs. mechanical/electrical apperatus.

This comes from my preference to never touch another carby again, now that I've discovered the world of FI

I used to teach industrial controls, worked in the industry, and anytime I could substitute electronic for mechanical w/ a degreee of reliability (I know some environments don't favor that) I do

A couple presure transducers, handful of resistors and caps, couple 741's (I'm showing my age here) and a LCD bargraph (analog input) and good to go,

um. are you assuming I have electronically controlled diesel injection?

My engine has no timing adjustment (at all!) and mechanical injection.
its locked to inject at TDC.

thus no ECU and no fuel tables
