It's been 5 or 6 weeks after the gauge install and everything was going good. The other day, I noticed a buzzing/ clicking noise coming from my fp gauge. I checked all my connections and all was good. After re-tightening evereything, the noise went away for a day and now its back. I'm thinking its time for a needle valve, any idea where I can get one?

Also, why would the noise suddenly appear after 6 weeks instead of being present from the beginning? Why would it go away for a day then come back? Same tank of fuel in the truck, if that would make a difference.

Thanks for any help.

I found a similar looking valves at lowes and home depot. I'm pretty sure the official title is a '1/8" pipe thread needle valve'. Shouldn't cost more than 3 soft tacos or 2 supreme tacos at TacoBell.

The noise probably comes and goes with air in the line to the gauge that dampens it.
Most any place that sells plumbing will have an 1/8'' needle valve, they're used for swamp coolers and ice makers.

 

Over here it's virtually impossible to get this valve - bad thing is that my FP gauge has died too. Rod @ Wildcat said he'll work with me on a replacement. Until now I must say that Wildcat is the best supplier for US truck stuff I met, ex aequo with DTT for transmission stuff.
I'm glad to do my shopping with them both
