Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Banjo fitting size

[JCyrbok]

I'm doing the FP gauage soon and was wondering if anyone knows the size of the banjo fitting that has the schrader test value in it at the VP. I'm wondering if there would be a way to put the new tapped banjo in, run a tee off of that and then off of the tee run my press sender line off of one side and the old banjo with the scharader value off the other. My thought is that DC would not have to take all my stuff apart if they ever need to test and they would not have the typical reaction of "you've added stuff, your warranty is void", which would make it easier on everyone.



Has anyone done this?



ANy info or thoughts, good or bad would help. Do you think that this is over kill? Anyone had any problems with DC after removing the Schrader and then having to have the VP tested?



Thanks

All the info I have on the banjos



Port size- OEM . 130"

Ray's banjo-. 187"



Head size -OEM 17mm

Ray's banjo-3/4"



Rays banjo's have a 1/8"npt tapped into the head for your sender



But I dont know what the shaft size is, I would'nt worry about the schrader valve. Just tell them you would rather monitor your L/P psi all the time rather than just when they hook up.



cheers, Kevin

Banjo bolts

IMO it would be better to use the tapped banjo bolt in the bottom of the fuel filter , to help eliminate the PULSATIONS that can come from directly attached to the pump. " that`s all i got to say about that"

There is an interesting thought on how to eliminate the pulsations on the TDR Aftermarket / Torque thread.



Basically put in a needle valve before the sender and close the needle down so just pressure gets through. Will also minimize fluid loss should the line to the sender ever crack / split / you get the idea.



Might also minimize the need to have 12" / 16" etc buffer flex line of some sort before the sender, sort of does the same thing, except with the needle valve doing the buffering.



Just a thought
