Fuel PSI Gauge snubber & fill

[HParfitt]

Hi,

I got a fuel pressure gauge and isolator that I would like to install. I am going to use a tapped banjo bolt from Geno's and install it at the cp3. I have 2 questions advice on would be appreciated.



1) should I install a snubber at the isolator or at the banjo bolt tap on the cp3 side?



2) seems like everyone is using anti freeze to fill the line from the isolator to the gauge. Seems to me something more inert than antifreeze would be a better idea. Maybe vegetable oil? Not questioning anybody's decision to use antifreeze I would just rather not have antifreeze in the cab.



And as always,

Thank you for your help.

heater core in the cab has antifreeze in it... veg. oil might be too thick when cold. [veg oil can turn solid at above water freezing point sometimes]



i think the better location for the snubber would be right on the banjo bolt on the cp3. or if you have 2 of them, stick one on each end of the pressure feed line [cp3 & isolator]

I'd install the snubber at the banjo bolt just in case the line to the isolator decides to spring a leak.
