Hello,  

I have Van’s 3 port sensor manifold. It is too close to the firewall for me to mount my Dynon fuel pressure sensor vertically. So I mounted it horizontally. I also have erratic high fuel pressure readings generating alarms on my Dynon D-180.  

   

Has anyone cured the erratic readings by returning the fuel pressure sensor to vertical?

Vince,

I have a similar arrangement for my Dynon EMS fuel pressure transducer and it works fine. My OP transducer is also horizontal and both give stable readings.

Is it possible to mount your manifold with sufficient spacers (Al stock, washers, etc) to allow vertical mounting of your transducers?

  I believe this is a common issue with transducer mounting. It seems reasonable from a vibration standpoint that a vertical mount (hanging downward) will help reduce the moment arm on your transducer.
