Looking for the best way to re plumb between the fuel filter and the injection pump. I need to include a connection for the fuel pressure gauge and a way to bleed off air from the system following filter change. I like the needle valve concept as a way to shut down the cross connection and act as a snubber. Want to eliminate the banjo bolts. Someone must have pictures. Also sources for the parts would be appreciated.

You are a stones throw from me. You are lucky because like me, you live close to Source Automotive (Clackamas) or Vulcan Performance in Vancouver Washington. I've been to both of these places many times and always glad I did Business with them.

I can't see your sig but if you have a 98-99 truck with old style filter housing then I have just the thing for you. I wanted the same thing as you so I called Eric at Vulcan and he hooked me up with this[ATTACH]5152[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5153[/ATTACH]It worked great for changing fuel filters, close the valve and bleed the air out, prime he pump and open the valve.

Hey, thanks for posting those pics, Ryan.I have a big line kit I need to install, and it said to put the tapped elbow at the VP, but I want the tapped elbow at the filter housing, but I figured it didn't really matter.

I'd be interesting to see what a difference the short piece would make in pressure/volume with elimination of the banjo bolts before changing pump and longer hose to the tank.

I'm thinking it's a 2-3 PSI bump in pressure. . .

I actually put it at the pump now since I put on the later styler filter housing.
