Does anyone know what the proper fuel pressure sending unit for my autometer pro comp marine 15psi fuel pressure gauge,it's a carb set up seen a few different ones canister style looking oil pressure sender/fuel sender not sure which is compatible thanks in advance.

For a carb setup you should be running 5 -7 psi fuel pump pressure. So if the sending unit matched your gauge from 0 -15 psi range would be ideal.

This one says it's a 15 psi sender

It is not that one. That is for the full sweep electronic gauges.

I know this isn't answering the OP question, BUT, have you considered running a mechanical gauge with a fuel rated hose running from carb fuel rail to the dash? This is how I'm set up and works awesome.

I would strongly suggest going to a wired sending unit due to any leak in the fuel line from the pump to the passenger area can be a very dangerous condition.

My current gauge on dash is a electronic wired style was hoping to use it,I have seen other carb motor set ups using the bigger canister style sending unit just wasn't sure who makes them or if oil pressure sending unit are being used for fuel pressure readings,like one in picture has signal wire in center then a ground wire on back side.

Call Autometer, and tell them you have a short sweep, 1-15 PSI fuel pressure gauge and need the sender. They will at minimum give you the part number, or even sell you one.

this one is possibly it. the 2245 sender states for full sweep.

the 2290 says this on summits site "This sensor is not resistance based. It is a linear analog voltage output from 0.5-4.5 V."

I spoke to autometer and tech said obsolete no longer sell the fuel pressure sending unit.

That sucks. It looks like they went to a full sweep style gauge for all the fuel pressure gauges.

Those older short sweep gauges used the cheaper canister style pressure senders, like he put up in his picture.

Bummer looks like the 2290 autometer sending unit is a 3 wire plug,back of my gauge is just signal wire and ground,wonder if a oil pressure sending unit would work.

Yea. All those short sweep gauges use single wire senders.

An oil pressure sender could work, it also could make the gauge act erratically. I am certain something out there could be made to work.

The canister one I posted a picture of on autometer website says oil pressure sending unit wonder if it would work.

Well looks like I fall into the recall category kinda funny how when I spoke to autometer tech earlier and explained my situation said nothing about being recalled,something so easy always has to be a pain in the ass lol.

Thanks I'm thinking it would work?

Shit, sorry lol.

Wonder if this Livorsi one would work then? Their gauges look like the same sweep as your autometer.
