Watch your fuel pressure gage also. It will tell you when it is time to change the filter.

I'm starting to agree with that statement... I'm noticing the closer I get to changing the fuel filter the lower the pressure is be coming. Not really low but it has dropped a 1 PSI.

I run pre and post filter gauges so I don't have to guess if the filter is getting plugged or if it is the LP going south!

You most likely got the electric sender guage... I know that is nice to have... Flip a switch and see the difference...

I'm not going to buy a second FP guage (mech) for that... I just grin and bear with it...

Actually I run a mechanical gauge in the cab, post filter and a direct-mount gauge on the filter canister, pre filter - pic is in my gallery...
