Best way to hook up fuel pressure guage?

[RussJ]

I am planning to install a fuel pressure guage after the holidays so here is my question. What is the best way to plumb into the fuel system? I am sort of leaning towards the replacement fuel filter cap that Geno's offers. I have also read about some guys using banjo bolts. So I was just wondering if one way is more reliable/accurate than the other? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

i mounted mine right to the cp3. no problems a year so far. i went this way just so i could get a socket on for filter changes.

either way, it's fairly simple.

Nick, how do you like your Holley fuel pump? I have been thinking about one of those too.

RussJ,



The banjo bolt, plastic line kit to an isolator and the pressure hose kit to the banjo bolt is the way to go, a little more involved to install but out of your way and such after the install for fitler changes etc. The hose kit also isolates the connection some to eliminate vibrations that might loosen it up over time, the isolator keeps diesel fuel out of the interior too should you ever have a leak.
