fuel pressure

I'm trying to get a good spot to connect the line I'll use for a fuel pressure gauge, is there a good spot I could use? I want to put it after the filter and before the IP inlet so I'll know if the filter is getting clogged. On My ford truck I didn't use the cummins filter head so it was easy to cut the inlet line to the IP and put a T there, on this other engine I will keep the cummins filter head so I'd like to know if there is a way to accomplish this with out cutting the line.

Thank You.

Get a tapped banjo bolt to replace the banjo bolt that has the bleeder screw in it. That is how a lot of people have done it.

Don't forget a "snubber" or a "needle valve" or that puppy will jump around on you until the sender finally takes a dive.

Yes, the one on My other truck is already jumping like crazy, I got a valve I plan to use on it and this one as well. What do You guys refer to as snubber?

Can't I just drill the banjo bolt and tap it.

Thank You.

I suggest getting the banjo bolt from genos. I drilled my stock one bigger and tapped it and also broke a tap while doing it... wow that whole thing was just a big mistake so i say just buy the one thats already to go and save a lot of hassle.

Where can I get this? They have one at the local hardware store but it comes with a rubber seal and I'm not sure it can take the diesel fuel.

I found this one and this one Item R7798. Are this the same thing? Doesn't look like they are but do they accomplish the same purpose?

Thank You.
