So here's my dumb question for the week guys :huh:
When old time race cars (and perhaps even modern ones, I don't know, or planes for that matter), use fuel pressure rather than fuel level, how does this work? I mean how do you interpret the information?
At what point in pressure drop do you run out of fuel, Zero? How do you gauge at any particular time how much pressure equals how many miles you have left?
Also, as I am about to start the gauge installation, and the original P4 had a fuel pressure gauge (and as I would like to stay as per original), what are the benefits of the pressure gauge over more normal fuel level gauges?
One idea I did have was to replicate the face of a pressure gauge, but have the dial actually give level readings. I suppose the needle at the far left reports empty either way?
PS. Next time I'll try use less words to get my point across!
TIA
