fuel pressure gauge install

[FG]

First post, been a TDR member for 2 years. Really enjoy this website and the appreciate all of the information gained from its members.



Just received today the Westach FP gauge kit from Geno's Garage plus one modified banjo fitting. First question: is it ok to connect the sending unit directly to the banjo fitting. I would be concerned about enginge vibration affecting both performance and durability of this setup. Has anybody had good luck installing this way or would it be better to have a flexible fuel line connect a remotely mounted sending unit to the banjo fitting.



Second question: which stock banjo fitting should be replaced with the modified/tapped one from Geno's. If it is aft of the fuel canister, how do you prevent potential air lock in the fuel lines?



Thanks for your help.

First welcome to the TDR, and watch out for that credit card, that BOMBING thing can be bad.



Don't go directly to the banjo bolt, use a flexible line to the sender.

I went to the banjo bolt (schreaeder valve) off the injection pump, get good reads from there. ( 16 idle 8-9 wot).
