I have one and you can either plug it into the top of the cp3 like the commander does or you can get the billet cap from geno's and put it there or there is a fitting in the bottom of the canister you can put it in also!!!

You will need a rail pressure guage di-procal makes them.. Unfortunately autometer doesn't....

how many gauges are there for our 3rd gen common rails. I was under the impression that QUADZILLA made the only rail pressure gauge. What I would like is a digital fuel gauge that gives both input and output psi. Say inlet of the cp3 (LP output)and the pressure in the rail.How many more are there?

genos sells the dipricol electric fuel pressure gauges....in 30psi and 60psi.
I know you said Auto meter..but if you have not bought gauges yet and want a rail gauge and want them to match then Dipricol is the ones you want..

if go with autometer- make sure you get a pressure snubber from them. they should tell you, that you need one.

I have Autometer Electric Ultra-Lite for fuel pressure and Diprocol Optix Rail Pressure gauge. They are not matching, but I wanted function. The Autometer Ultra-Lites were in before there were any Rail Pressure guage options.

I have a full FASS system that bypasses the original filter setup. My fuel pressure gauge sender is T-d into the fuel line from the FASS to the CP3 about where it goes under the firewall. Easiest place to run gauge wiring into the cab for me. I have not had any problems with the sender in that location for over 2 years now.

I have the Quad rail and lift pressure gauge. I wouldn’t buy Quad again. If the gauge works when you receive it, and it never breaks you would be OK. But if it doesn’t they wont stand behind it. Actually, they would sorta stand behind it, but at your expense. They have terrible customer service from my experience. I and several others are finished with Quad. I don’t have experience with any of the other gauges mentioned.

Has Quad gotten bad at customer service or something? When I did have some of his products and had issues, he was very helpful.

First off, it's impossible for Quad's rail pressure guage to cause your FCA and relief valve to go bad. Stop giving out false information. Second, Quad has been praised for his customer service more than any other vendor on any site. So take these comments with a grain of salt. This isn't my opinion. Just facts.
