What do i need to install fuel pressure gauge?

[Doughboy21kd]

I am gonna buy some gauges and am needing to know what i need for a complete install on the electric fuel pressure gauge?



I was looking at getting some autometer phantom series but it says the FP is not intened for use on the dodge diesels..... Can i still use it?



1. Gauge

2. Banjo bolt?(which one and where should i install at? after filter housing or on the line going into cp3?

3. ????



Also where is a good place i can get all the items in one shot thats cheap.....



Is the banjo bolt pretty much the same concept as the boost bolt? and is it simple to install like a boost bolt? TIA

I have the same fp gauge and it works great, mounted it on the steering column. I tapped in underneath the filter housing, use a little hydraulic sealant (Rectoseal) it will save you some hassles. Got mine from a dealer but you could easily find good deals online somewhere.

I was doing some reading on some other forums and was wondering if i get a electric fuel pressure gauge, you guys had mentioned something about the thumping that the injection pump does and it wrecks the gauge.....



And i have found in my reading the only way to fix it so the fuel pressure gauge doesn't bounce all over the place is to use a needle valve or a snubber(FP restrictor)... Just wondering if that sounds right?



FP restrictor(snubber) i guess is what its called is only $8. 00 from Summitt... ... Is this an option for me that might work... . Or am i reading a bunch of smoke blown up my colon...

The Commander from Quadzilla monitors both the low pressure fuel and the rail pressure. It gets the low pressure from an electric sensor added to the fuel system and gets the high pressure from the stock rail pressure sensor that feeds the info to the ECM.
