Hi Guys
very interesting talk on the EGT probes. A side bar came up on=C2=A0fuel pr=
essure gauges with isolators.. I have the gauge, but isolators? What is thi=
s?=C2=A0I have a single braided line up through the tub from elec pump and =
filter in the rear to regulator and gauge under the bonnet, line then split=
s to the carbs.=C2=A0Education please.
ThanksBrian

An isolator is a device that sends the pressure signal to the gage using a d=
ifferent fluid (diethyl ether or more commonly propylene glycol). If the gau=
ge fails, the fluid that gets sprayed into the passenger compartment is mini=
mal and non flammable. The isolator normally sits in the engine bay.  That w=
ay the number of fittings in the fuel line within the passenger compartment i=
s minimal. Should be zero imho.

This is a low pressure isolator (0-15 psi). Gauge line goes out the back sid=
e through the firewall.  For fuel injection systems there are high pressure i=
solators available.  An alternative is to use an electric gauge with sender u=
nder the hood.

nother helpful tools is a fuel pressure gauge (with isolator so you don't pi=

ts.  To low and you've got something funny with the feed like a regulator / p=
ump going bad or you forgot to put gas in the car.
