Banjo Bolt with schrader valve or NPT threads

[DonTX]

On another board, someone mentioned that you can simply replae the banjo bolt on the fuel filter with one with 1/8 NPT female threads. This would be an easy way to mount my fuel pressure gauge. Does anyone know if such a thing exists and where I would get one?

The 01-02 fitting will work for you just fine

Fitting Reworked

I hooked up my fuel pressure guage to same bango fitting at top of filter. I used existing fitting with modification. Took fitting off, cut off tip housing the schrader valve, removed valve (just like tire valve, it will unscrew) trip to auto parts store & pick up brass tapered fitting and 1/8 npt coupling. I ran a 1/8 npt tap over tapered end, run on coupling, then silver soldered coupling to ensure good connection. I then used 18" new grease gun line to connect to fuel isolator. A little ingenuity goes a long way.
