Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) FASS gauge port

[Oil Burner1]

So I got my FASS installed and forgot to note where the gauge port was:{ before I have to drop the unit out just to see where the "G" port is I thought i'd see if anyone could describe it's size and location so I don't have to remove anything.



thanks

Mine is up near the return line fitting, facing toward the frame. It'll be funn getting anything in there without dropping the FASS.

Oil Burner1,

Buy a "T" fitting that will fit onto the VP44 fitting and the fuel supply line. The leg of the "T" can be necked down to fit your fuel pressure sending hose. This measures fuel pressure at the VP which is what you really want to know.

Godspeed,
Trent

I put my fuel pressure sender in the fass and the gauge was very jumpy



also i just moved my sender yesterday and found out that i lost 5-7psi from the fass to the Injection pump And the gauge isnt jumpy anymore

I know it's apples to oranges, but I've had the LP light switch in the FASS for over 1. 5 years now without any problems... and it does still work.



I fully intend to install a FP gauge, but it will be installed in a "T" fitting about 12" from the CP3...

The "G" port is on the Fuel Pressure manifold on the FASS 150 Series. This is the square block directly above the Fuel filter. The port is on the Frame side of the block. This is to help protect this fragle line sometimes used.



OR you can just go this route... .

thanks for the links guys, Think I'll call mr. OPoole tomorrow, I like that this product looks like it has the pushlock barbs with yellow washers to match the FASS stuff

Might be something worth including with the setup. That and fittings to cap off the OEM fuel lines

I have one, and have a mechanical gauge in it... seems to work well. .

Only time I think one would see an issue with this set up would be with an electric gauge that referance its gnd from the sending unit instead of suppling its own gnd through the harness. Most gauges supply their own gnd these days through the harness... but if you get a weird reading, you can always run a ground strap or somthing to that effect to the fitting to resolve the issue. There would be no issues with mechanical gauges.

I have the Westach Elec. FP gauge and used OPoole's Pressure Port and works like a champ. I have solid and steady FP readings.
