noticed some people have a gauge threaded into their FPR were you check the preasure with a tire gauge. my question is what type of gauge do i need to buy for this is it a special fuel preasure gauge or will just an air preasure gauge? this would be real handy plus who dosen't love gauges [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm going with a fuel pressure isolator from Diesel Manor and a 100 psi liquid filled Autometer Pro Comp gauge in the cab

garbage, will the isolator handle the constant pulsing that beats the hell out of all the gauges screwed into the schrader valve? if so you are on the right track! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
Dayum....don't show me THAT truck. It is just SICK how clean it is!
That is a great way to have a gauge if you don't want it in the cab or on the cowl. I'm thinking Harley oil pressure gauge???
Kind of hard to check fuel PSI under load though....hence why mines going inside.
