Fuel Pressure guage ??? Install

You guys with the Fuel pressure guages did you order the filler cap from geno's? If so my question is how do you keep bubbles out of the line when you change your fuel filter and do you have pic's... I am waiting for the cap to get here for the install..

Thanks in Advance... Shane

Banjo bolt

I used a tapped banjo bolt for the supply line right at the cp3 so I wouldn't run into that problem. It's a real pita to get all the air out of the lines if you are using an isolator.

My gauge is teed in at the back of the filter housing where the line feeds from the Walbro. My question is- why are you worried about a bubble in the gauge line above the filter cap? So what? Pressure is pressure and air there is not going anywhere.

Like stated above if using an isolator it's a PITA to get all the air out of the lines.. maybe it's a stupid question... I've never had a FP guage and just asking to better my knowledge so I don't feel so stupid.. .. Mostly just curious.. Thanks Shane

It's an in-line electric fuel pump that is a popular replacement for tthe stock, filter mounted lift pumps. Glacier diesel put together a kit that uses them. It puts out more fuel than the stocker and is more reliable. And in the event of a failure it's easy to replace or stick in some other temporary replacement from an auto parts store to get home. My stock LP quit on the freeway. I was able to re-start about 6 times and baby it home. Just barely.

That is a nice looking setup! Looks like custom Walbro with fuel filter. The Glacier diesel system puts the tee at the CP3 to purge the air automatically. I don't know why there is a check valve before that pump in the picture? Is that your setup???
