Bought a gauge set for an I/O and will actually be using them on a fuel injected outboard. The set has an oil pressure gauge but no fuel pressure gauge, would the oil pressure sending unit be fuel compatible? Or could I possibly use the fuel pressure sender with the oil pressure gauge. I know it is kinda a goofy question but it is "budget" build and I have spent way too much on it already.

If it's a budget deal go for it. worst can happen is u have to change out. Around the shop I've used various gauges for multiple different uses including fuel pressure and by surprise they worked. I would think the senders would be the same and more than likely will get reading on gauges but how accurate not sure. Ck water section u might find some otherwise. Is it fuel injection application?
It would just bug me like no tomorrow but hey.....
