Guys,
AutoMeter makes a unit but it specifically excludes
alcohol/methanol. The Mallory 29806 unit is supposedly compatible with all
fuels and is available from several sources.
Summit Racing has the Mallory unit for $68.00.

Great answer Mike. Do you remember the cost?

I used a fuel pressure isolator (I think it was
an AutoMeter part). Provides a barrier between the fuel and your
sensor/sender. Use water/antifreeze between the sender and the
isolator.

Tracy;
I'm glad you
mentioned that. I was about to conclude that the problem was
incorrect data, not faulty regulator. I could not be sure that the
richer mixture I had connected with the first occurrence of higher fuel
pressure was cause and effect – I possible had not leaned again after
climbing to a higher altitude – then noticed the mixture and the higher
pressure reading. On the second occurrence I had not noted a mixture
change. Flew for an hour today (beautiful up and down the
beachJ) and the fuel
pressure was always where it should be. The sensor offset was also
what it should be. So until it happens again . .
Are you going
to replace the VDO sender?

Looking for a possible replacement is on my To Do list but not near the
top yet. I inspect the sender for leaks whenever I'm under the cowl
but never seen any hint of a problem so far.
