Pressure gauges & pressure sensors

Pressure gauges and pressure sensors are important components in both engine and fuel systems, where correct pressure monitoring can be crucial for reliability, performance and engine protection. In this category, you will find solutions for measuring oil pressure and fuel pressure, among other things, used on street cars, tuning projects, motorsport vehicles and custom builds.

Monitoring oil pressure is important because the engine’s moving parts depend on correct lubrication and cooling. A pressure gauge or a digital oil pressure sensor makes it possible to keep an eye on whether the oil pressure is where it should be. On cars with aftermarket engine management, a digital sensor can often be connected directly to the ECU, so the system not only displays the value, but can also react if the pressure falls outside the limits programmed for safety.

Fuel pressure is at least as important, especially on cars with fuel injection, upgraded fuel systems or aftermarket engine management. A digital fuel pressure sensor measures the pressure in the fuel system and sends the signal on to the engine management system or a display. This makes it possible to monitor whether the engine is receiving the correct fuel pressure under different load conditions, and on some setups the engine management itself can be used to detect pressure dropouts or irregularities in the system.

In motorsport and on high-performance projects, pressure gauges and sensors are often used as an active part of the car’s monitoring and safety strategy. This is especially relevant when the engine management is set up to monitor oil pressure or fuel pressure and react to deviations. This can help protect the engine from damage and give the driver better insight into how the car is performing under load.
