i'll second that! had a friend put one in his dash once. 3 months later the gauge went bad. leaked fuel all over the underside of dash and wires. soaked the carpet. he couldn't pull off the road fast enough and shut it down with fuel squirting out under a 100lbs of pressure. electric gauges are ok but not that accurate. I have a liquid filled gauge mounted on the fire wall, yes I have to have the hood up to look at it. or I can stick it up through the gap between the hood and windshield to look at it. after my friend replaced his carpet and cleaned all the fuel that he could, you still get hit with the fuel smell when you open the door!!

Are the OEM gauges just junk? Or simply because it had fuel going to the gauge? I'd like to keep it looking factory and just use an isolator. But if the factory gauge is simply inaccurate and garbage, then I'll go with the SW and an isolator.
