Default WTB VM1000 Fuel Pressure and Fuel flow Sensor

Hi everyone,
Looking for needles in the haystack, but I'm in need of a fuel pressure and fuel flow sensors for VM1000 for Fuel Injected (0-50psi I think). I can get by without flow, but really need pressure. Just trying to get through til next years panel upgrade.

TIA,
Craig

Don't know if anyone can help with this, but I've miraculously located a FI pressure sensor, but after installing it is still displaying <10 PSI. I'm guessing somewhere in the setup it needs to know it has the 0-50 PSI fuel sensor. Any ideas?

Do you have the installation manual? If not I can email it to you.

I have the install manual, but I don't see anything in it related to fuel pressure sensor selection.

Although Reggie isn't available, he has left his website up to help those of us that still use the VM1000. Have you been to that site? https://vmsupport.weebly.com

Thanks for the tip George. Just checked Reggies site and found out that the fuel pressure sensor type is hard coded into the firmware chip for the DPU. Luckily my FI pressure sensor came with the DPU (a generous soul just handed me his VM1000 system he removed after an upgrade to Skyview). I'm not outta the woods yet, but at least there's a path forward.
