you are absolutely right - my apologies. here is the other thread:

i figured what were the odds of two people having strange observations like that, in two days. sorry again.

i have no idea how you could get coolant in there. was it like yellow coolant or was it water? water in the fuel system? varnish? i really dont know. good luck and bump.

The only thing that comes to mind for me is that its pulling it out of the intake vacuum tree under the upper intake where the fuel pressure regulator is connected. This being the most likely source, how's it getting into the intake? Possible egr spacer/coolant line/gasket leak is my thought. Let me know...

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking fuel pressure regulator, not gauge.

I have heard that when you mount the guage inside the car and use a fuel pressure guage isolator I think you use coolant in line to the guage, maybe thats where the coolant came from.
