I mounted the gauge in a pillar. The sender is mounted in the engine compartment. I'll have to get a picture to describe.

There 2 places you can use as your fuel pressure source, one is the test fitting before the filter the other is on the lift pump. If you are only going to have one gauge or sender, you may as well monitor the pressure on the lift pump since that is the real fuel pressure including the pressure drop as the filter gets clogged. Monitoring it Pre filter will not give an accurate reading as the fliter gets clogged. I just installed my gauge that way.

Also, talk to Andy at www.smokindiesel.com about the kit i just got, it includes EVERYTHING you need to install it, including braided stainless steel hose and the correct fittings pre installed and your choice of gauge.

I have the gauge installed under the dash by the OBD III plug in. The senders are mounted pre filter on the inlet test port of the filter housing and post filter at the banjo bolt after the filter housing.
