Pretty sure that Autometers are not approved for Diesel.

That being said, you should be able to find the needle valve at any plumbing supply,
or even Home Depot type store.

ok,,,,,,,,,,Now back to my original ( original question)...LOL

Should the isolator be mounted on ther firewall or on the motor.

I thought i read somewhere it was better to mount on motor....Could be wrong though.....Does it matter?

Wanna get this done already.

I would think that mounting it to the body would help longevity, isolating it from all the engine vibrations.

I have read that sending units for electrical gauges be mounted on the motor...the theory being that vibrations were in sync that way and less likely to give false readings. For a mechanical gauge and isolator I believe firwall, etc. is fine.

Just be sure to get a diaphragm type isolator, not the cylinder/piston type. There are some longevity problems with that type.
