Default Fuel Pressure Gauge.......

Is there suppose to be any liquid of any kind Inside a fuel pressure gauge?

I saw some in my friends and he swears its suppose to be there I was like hell no dude are you stupid it smelled like gas but he said it was liquid hahahaha I just want to clear this up......So if it is broken he can go get a new one and it will be fixed......Not to mention the fuel pressure gauge is reading completely wrong but w.e......

Yeah autometer does have a liquid filled gauge. its actually more expensive, it is meant to go on the cowl or in the engine bay to cut down on vibration to where you cant get a reading, or a good enough reading. Is his gauge mounted on the fuel rail next to the regulator, or is it a stand alone autometer?

Im pretty sure its mounted on the fuel rail next to the regulator.......I am going to see what kind of gauge it is.......It didnt seem normal to me that there was gas inside the gauge......Plus it was half way filled and leaking out of the bottom of the gauge...and the gauge wasnt reading right ......Thats why I dont think it is the kind of gauge that holds liquid in it.....

Ill see if I cant find what kind of gauge it is.......

yeah that would not be a liquid filled gauge and the filled guages have a clear liquid about half way up, but not the color of gas.

I didnt notice so much by the color .........I just saw some liquid inside the gauge touched and smelled it and it smelled like gas.........
