I want to install a full set of gauges in my '02 CTD and I was wondering how you install a fuel pressure gauge in it? Id like it after the lift pump. I have seen replacement caps for the fuel filter canister with a nipple on it for the gauge but I dont want this style. Could someone help me out with this? Maybe some pictures or part #s would be very helpful. Thanks.

 

Many options and opinions on this. My setup was to use the test port on the shrader valve on the VP itself. Fuel line bought from http://genosgarage.com It did require a few fittings I had to buy locally to go from a -AN fitting to 1/4 NPT pipe thread to work but it's a clean install with a needle valve to act as a snubber. I don't have pictures of the guts of the operation but have pictures of the end result. If you want pictures I could snap a few.

Good luck.

 

If you wouldnt mind takin a few pictures of the plumbing it would be much appreciated. Would really help me decide how I want to do this install. Thanks.

 

I originally used a tapped banjo bolt from Geno's, 1/8" NPT, which is what most gauge hardware is.

 

Either a tapped banjo or a schrader adapter is most common for fuel pressure.
