Upgrades and Aftermarket - 7.3L EngineUpgrading and adding aftermarket equipment to your 1999-Up Super Duty or Excursion with 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 7.3L Power Stroke engine.
I want to install a fuel pressure gauge under the hood, what size fittings do I need to go into the back of the fuel bowl and what type of hose should I use.
Thanks in advance

Go to my pics page and locate the fuel pressure link. I just pulled the plug out and walked into a Parker Store. Bought the adapter, the elbow and the gauge.
I bought the 150 psi so the gauge would never be over pressured. You also should be able to find the same hardware at any good hydraulic shop.
I cannot help with the actual thread sizes.... it's all geek (greek) to me.
You can read it even with the Powerstroke cover on.
