Posted March 31, 201015 yr Thanks I want to keep an eye on pressure from my lift pump and dont' want to drop a fortune. Thanks CD
March 31, 201015 yr I just bought a 0-30 Westach fuel pressure gauge today from www.Genosgarage.com and they have a special if you buy a gauge you get the pods half price.
April 1, 201015 yr Author Thanks for the info guys! Top of my water seperator fuel filter (factory one) its tapped with 1/8th pipe thread and a fitting is it it. Why can't I just buy a 0-30 psi guage without isolator or sending unit and just run a #3 braided steel line from top of filter to my gauge in the truck??? Wouldn't this save me some money? I have all the fittings lines etc just need gauge and pod! I realize the idea of having fuel in the truck is dangerous but if done correct I don't see this being a problem? Please let me know what you all think and with that in mind where is cheapest place for gauge. Thanks Chris
April 1, 201015 yr i believe you are going to need a needle valve. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer fluid hammer can wreck an expensive gauge(cheap ones too)

April 1, 201015 yr http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-3279/ This fitting really reduces they rate of flow, my truck has to run like 5 seconds to read above 0 PSI on start up. It would even make it safer to have no isolator, as it would not allow much fuel in the cab, in the event of line breakage or an accident.

What size would you say the hole in the male side of that fitting is? I have quite a few like that but interested in size of hole. Thanks CD
April 2, 201015 yr I just did a google search, i run a ISSPRO 0-30 psi,, about $40 shipped. i also run it straight to the cab, i have a shut off valve that i jsut crack open, also can be used in case of leakage.
