Where is everybody hooking up there fuel pressure gauge?

 

Get a set of earls connectors which will hook into the cp3 and the fuel filter. Then get a set of 90* to AN-6 hose. place a T (AN-6 to AN-6 to 1/8 NPT) in the middle and pull your pressure from there. I recommend a 1/8 to 1/8 needle valve as a snubber or your FP gauge will buzz like mine.....I will see if I have the official list of parts # that Banshee, John_P and Masonic-Dodge hooked me up with.

 

I tan a ss line from the bottom of the fuel filter bowl to an isolater then to the guage.

They have it at dieselmanor.com

 

here is mine.....kind of hard to see...but...

All in all it is a fairly easy install if you go with the parts listed above. The hardest part, which John_P and Masonic-Dodge tackled was connecting AN connectors and the Braided hoses. Once they did that, it all just fits together and installs to the CP3 and Fuel Filter.

 

Hey Nate,.......that's a pretty good job that "banshee" and I did for you on cutting and installing those Aeroquip lines huh??

John,

By all means it was a top notch job! Everything I know about these things I learned from you guys. Now I am in the process of producing a few of my own. The only issues I am having is I havent moved in yet and I am working out of the back of my truck. The hardest part is not "mushrooming" the braided lines when attaching them to the connectors....

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

Nate

 

So what are you going to do? There is another thing you can do....

There is a replacement cap for the fuel filter....

Forgive my ignorance here, this is for fuel press @ the CP3 NOT rail pressure correct?

 

Yes, this is to measure your lift pump fuel pressure feeding the CP3. Commonly 6-9 LBS unless running GDP or FASS or other upgraded pumps.

 

I had order my fuel pressure gauge and I went ahead and got the braided line and the banjo bolt for it. Is that a alright setup for it?

 

Sounds good to me, but you might want to PM John_P, or Banshee or Masonic_Dodge. They helped/did most of my install. VERY helpful people.

Did you get the isolator with it? It will keep you from running diesel into the cab of your rig. Mine came with the ISSPRO kit from Genosgarage.com. You run the SS line from the banjo to the isolator under the hood. Then a nylon line from the isolator to the gauge filled with antifreeze or I have heard some peple use 3in1 oil. (Banshee used antifreeze)

 

Thank you for the clarification.

 

rstone, I think you will be runnin the same setup as me, install is a snap.

Where did you get the kit?

 

I used a tapped banjo, to needle valve, right off the CP3 inlet.

 

I had order mine through diesel manor. Wap I see you have the rail guage were does that hook up at?
