Default senders

Hello
does the Trutrack fuel pressure sender allow to measure pressure until 4 to 5 bars (75 PSI) because my new injection engine UL POWER is using a normal fuel pressure of 3 to 3.5 bars for run . So I need to be sure that the maximun range of the trutrack is ok ; these senders are they done for fuel ? I mean reliable for years!!: with steel "membranne" and approved seals!!
I apologise these question but the picture of this sender (in the installation manual) seems to show something similar to a VDO sender!!!
And I absolutly do not want this trademark for that purpose !!!!!!

Is there an 5/8 -18 thread oiltemp sensor existing and what part number
Is there an 10 X 100 thread oil pressure sensor exiting and what part number
Many thanks for help

Michel,

The injected engine fuel pressure sensor we use will read up to 5 bars. To be honest, I'm not sure of the thread size as I'm out of the office at this time. I will get that information and post back here. Thanks!

The only fuel pressure sensors we have calibrated for are made by VDO. We do not have a calibration map for UMA sensor at this time.

The oil pressure sensors we have use a 1/8"-27 thread and the oil temperature sensors we have use a 5/8"-18 thread. I hope this helps. Thanks!

Ok thanks for info
I place an order to my french suplier .
I have some doubt about reliability of VDO sensor in fuel lines!!! Can you confirm I will not have leak trouble at 3 bar after 50 or 100 Hrs running ?
I will be more confident reading Trutrack expertise for that particular point!!
Are these VDO sensor built for this application( I mean fuel environnement) ?
apologise for insisting but a bad experience push me in asking this!!
Merci bien

We have always used the VDO fuel pressure sensors. They are made specifically for that application and we've never had any trouble from them. Thanks!
