When setting fuel pressure, is there a recommended elevation to place the gage. Obviously, the reading changes as the gage is raised or lowered??
Any Guru's willing to comment on this???

OK, I'm going to take a video of it.Maybe I'll even be able to post it here. It is moving about 1-2 lbs as the rubber hose is raised and lowered. The pressure of water changes about.4 lbs per ft of elevation and it's specific weight is close to 8 lbs per gallon. Anyone know the weight of gasoline. I could extrapolate some kind of guess from that if I knew it. Thx
