I Was Tryin To Conect My Fp Gauge An The Banjo Bolt Snapted Off Is Thare Any Way To Get The Bolt Out Of The Filter With Out Drilling

 

Can you get a small easy out in there?

 

i had this happen just this week also, i had thread tape on mine, anyway mine broke at the holes so what i was gonna do was use a large flat blade screwdriver to turn it out. as soon as i put the screwdriver on it i noticed it was loose, so i just turned it out with my fingers. have you tried turning it yet?

 

I Stoped Cryin And Got Over The Sick Feeling And Was Abill To Pull The Line Down And Get A Vise Grip On It And Get It Out Thanks For The Reply

 

lol, i know the feeling. when i broke mine i was a half a second away from seeing how hard i could bounce the wrench off the concrete cuz its always the darn tools fault

 

Do you guys recommend teflon tape on the gauge fitting? Will it seal without? thanks

 

i didnt use it at first and it did leak. so i used it. i thought i had seen posts somewhere about not using it, but i dont know why? so i guess i will use it when i get my new banjo bolt in.

 

You don't want to use teflon tape anywhere in the fuel system.
Small pieces of it will come off and go into the injection pump or injectors and mess either up.

Teflon paste on the other hand could be used, sparingly.

I agree! NEVER use teflon tape on a fuel system. They have banned it from use on airplanes, even experimental aircraft for this VERY reason.

 

Could I Jb Weld The Bolt Back Together Or Would That Be Bad For The Fuil

 

(Hope you're not serious)
New bolt time.
The Cummins would shake it apart in no time.

Where are you?, your profile doesn't show a hometown.

Edit:
I see from a previous post you're in Ohio.
If you were closer, I'd let you have one of my old ones.
I swtched to the AN fittings with my Scotty Smart Fuel System so I have the stockers, and a set of the Drilled Banjos setting in my toolbox.
