I have always mounted them under the cowl.

BTW, VDO about 2 years ago started attaching a note to their pressure sensors saying to NOT use them for fuel system use.  I've been using them for fuel system pressure use for about 10 years with no problems but thought I'd pass that along. 

As Lynn pointed out, there are isolators that can separate the fuel from the sensor if you want to be careful.

Hey RV flyers; I'm curious what you all are doing to mount your fuel pressure sending unit...are you mounting it in the cockpit area just downstream of fuel pumps or on the firewall or engine?  Is there a best place to locate it?  
 
I have seen some AN "Fuel Pressure Gauge Fittings" (with a 1/8 in. NPT hole tapped into them) in both JEEGs (#555-100520) and SUMMIT which seems like it might be a good way to go...
 
Thanks for your input.
