[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel Line Pressure

Sat Jul 21 05:42:14 AKDT 2007

Actually... if you know the specific gravity of the fuel, you can convert the height of the fuel column to a pressure in psi. (or inches of mercury)

30 inches Mercury is appx 14.7 psi.

The fuel line up the wall may have to be VERY high.....  But yes, it can work.

  Never tried this but I read about it and meant to try. Just tee the line going to the carb and run a piece of fuel line up a stick, wall or what ever with the top of the line left open, start engine and see how far up the line it goes. This won’t give a specific PSI measurement but it sounds like a good way to get a reference to analyze or adjust with.

  Does anyone know what the nominal fuel line pressures are in .45 – 1.60 size engines is? Is there a known source for a measuring gauge?
