banjo bolt for fuel pressure install question

[Dieselfitter]

i 've got a new tapped bolt for fuel pressure, but what bolt do i replace?

i'm assuming its the line from the filter to the pump at the front of the engine. the line from the pump to the rail would be to high , correct?

i've got i tst powermax , and runing lev 2hp 3 tor. thats as hi as i can run without egt's going to 1500. there is a hesitation and then a surge of power around 2000 rpm. mark at tst said it could be low fuel pressure.

thanks for any help

I put mine in the line that comes out the bottom of the filter housing. That way nobody can see it at the dealership and they wont make any stupid assumptions.

My TST kinda does the same thing and unfortunately, the FASS pump didnt help much.

my SPA guage is also on the bottom of the filter housing. For me the issue was clearance for the transducer. And I too am having some fuel pressure issues, with injectors my TST is now a simple timeing box i. e. 1/1. 2/2 and EGT hits 1500 real quick, sort of sucks.

Dug, no I havent talked to them ~ thought maybe it was my imagination. The TST is so sensitive to fuel filter condition I'm thinking maybe it's just not flowing enough some times. (I run an idiot light not a fuel pressure gage).



R. , Man somethings not rite there, I can't hardly get it over 1300 on 4/4. On 3/3 it never gets that hot, even pulling a TT over the pass. Of course I can burry it on 6/6

Maybe it's your pyro?

my pyro is before tubo and gives 1300 numbers at stock power

i can run a higher number on tst , but can't put my foot in it at all with out going right to 1500.

i have no other mods to truck , intake or exhaust.
