Billet Fuel Filter Cap?

[KatDiesel]

Anyone using this :

Fuel Filter cap Geno's Garage



Considering getting it and mounting fuel pressure gauge there. Wondering if anyone is using it and if the gauge still gets pulses from the VP44 at that location. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences with this product????????

I'm going to do the same, mount a FP gauge from jegs.

It's a very nice piece, but I've always understood that the most accurate FP reading is at the inlet to the VP44?

Can the stock cap be drilled and threaded to 1/8" NPT? I would prefer to keep the stock system of supporting the filter.

I've been using the cap, however I opted to hook my fp guage to the Schrader valve instead. It's a very nice, well made unit. Besides, a little extra shine always looks good. I've been toying with the idea of some type of system hooked to the 1/8" port to bleed off the air when priming the filter housing after a filter change. However it's still just a lightbulb... .

I have not put this on yet, but does not the filter fit into this cap like stock?

It was my understanding that the billet cap only centers the filter, the filter would no longer hang from the filter end.

24V-DSL,



My understanding as well, but the VP pulses beat a fp gauge to death. I've had 2 on snubber lines (ss braided lines though and maybe not flexable enough) that trashed solid state Westach sensors. I did not try the metal snubber concept that restricts fluid flow through a brass metal sponge like maze. I did try the needle valve snubber concept turned down to just about nothing. The needle valve did not work for me, but I could have done something not correct.



I am trying a 10' long snubber line thinking that the VP pulses can not go that far with the line wrapped in a coil and figuer 8 configuration. So far so good but only about 6 months of test so will not know for another year or so.



Right off the ff out should probably be ok since line pressure is line pressure as long as no restrictions.



Good luck with finding a place for VP inlet pressure that will not kill a sensor over time.

I installed my FP gauge to the bottom of the stock filter housing... . There are a few benefits of doing this...

1. Keeps both test ports open for Dodge to check FP

2. Will give you a post filter reading so the gauge will also let you know when your fuel filter is getting a little dirty

3. Won't Interfere when your changing your fuel filter

4. All you need is a tapped banjo bolt & a couple of fittings



I'm not if all the years of the 24v have this at the bottom of the filter, but that is how I hooked my FP gauge up...
