buzzing FP gauge

[TWhetten]

I have a braided steel line running to my FP gauge. When I first installed it, anything the line touched would make a "buzzing" sound, So I wrapped the entire line in black pvc pipe insulation and that worked great for a couple of months, but it has started again, and is driving me nuts. Anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions?

i havent put a fuel pressure gauge on my new o6 yet but its my understanding that you need a isolator between the gauge and the fuel pump. ive seen one kind every where i think made by pricol but theres another thats a cylinder i like better. i think thats made by isspro that im on the trail of. ive heard that the pump has a pulse to it that you can hear and also heard it can ruin youre gauge over time. hey fill out you profile so we can see what kind of truck ya got. but this is all hear say so good luck ron

You can add a 1/8 NPT Needle valve between your source and Gauge

this might help. My gauge was jumping all over the place and it helped

mine. Oo.

Hey Ty!

You might need a needle valve in there to dampen the vibrations. On my 12v with my stainless line, I can't run the FP gauge without a valve because the guage vibrates like crazy.

I have a needle valve, and an SS braided line runnin right to the back of the gauge. The gauge reads smooth and just fine, but I to hear buzzing. I'm going to try and move where I tapped in further away from the VP44 and see if it quiets things down.
