Fuel pressure gauge, question

I have a DiPricol fuel pressure gauge and a windshield pod. Has anyone hooked one of these up with out useing antifreeze? They say anything longer than 6 ft. you should use anti freeze.
I think it may be more like 8 ft and was wondering if it would work?

thanks

I installed mine and put windshield washer fluid in it as per TST where I bought it.
I had to fill mine to make it work right. They say under six feet ok but mine did not work right so I filled it and works great!

I filled mine with antifreeze and it works great. At first I didn't and the gauge read very slowly and also low.

Just be careful. I used windshield washer fluid and it's eating away at my liquid teflon tape and causing my gauge to read zero. Make sure you doublecheck that whatever you used is comatible.

Use the isolator and charge it with antifreeze and 8' line from isolator to gauge won't make any difference.
