Who had an electronic pressure sensor solution?

[Reefgeorge]

I have an issue with an outboard motor that requires fuel pressure sensing while running at maximum speed by myself. This Yahama motor (F225C) does not have a fuel pressure sensor so my YDS 1.33 software cannot help me here. I seem to remember someone here talking about remote AC pressure sensing, possibly with smartphone wireless monitoring. I am looking for a sensor to screw on to the fuel rail schrader that can either give me a pair of wires and a gauge 10 feet away or a wireless output and an app. Can anyone send me in the right direction? It does not need to be medical grade accurate and I would like to keep the cost down. The target pressure is 45 psi and its gasoline.

Thanks,

George

I would think something like this would work. Doesn’t say if compatible with gas. Or try Speedhut.com.

Is this a permanent install or something just used for testing?

If temp testing, just use a mechanical gauge and run small tube.

Permanent wired? You can use almost any pressure transducer, but you got to be able to read the electric data back to useful units. A simple volt or ohm meter could work.....HYPOTHETICAL: as long as needle says at 5.6volts (corresponds to 45psi) you are good.

I didn’t want to change the original gauges or layout on my 68 41TC. So I added a Mahohany “pedestal” off to the side of the helm to house a Maretron NMEA display and my VHF. To get Input data I went with the Albí-Combo it’s got programmable inputs for either voltage (pressure) or resistive (temp) I now monitor the generator temp and oil pressure, trans temps and pressures, engine oil temps, and buss voltage. I used stainless E Bay pressure senders that I have had good luck with.. PM me if you want more info, happy to share

I had to lengthen the cable to the sensor bu then it worked like a champ. Thanks,
