Well the search function isn't workin so I'll ask here. I have the airdog installed now I need a Fuel Pressure Gauge. And they are friggin expensive. Does anyone have a fuel pressure gauge kit for the lines now. Something that would splice into the actual line would be great.

If your wanting a mechanical guage just cut the line get a 1/2" brass T 2- 1/2" brass hose barb fitings, and one bushing that is 1/2" male x 1/8 NPT and you should be able to hook right into it.

it would be the same for an electric guage if you did away with the banjo fittings too.

So what do I hook up to the T?? Gauge wise and hose wise??

I asked the same question, but a little more general...

Hope this helps

The hose barbs will let the fuel straight through, the bushing that has the 1/8 npt will be where you thread in the fp sending unit for electric or fuel line with mech. guage.

There's a few ways to get a fuel pressure port. You can use a swilev 90* pushlock or a pushlock T as mentioned.

Here's a pic of the 90* I don't seem to have the straight fitting pics handy.

The install is not the same for an 01 - the fuel filter housing is different.

Theres a few ways to do an install on an 01 -

Fuel filter outlet using a tapped banjo bolt:



VP-44 test port:



Also, if you have a big line kit you can use a pushlok fitting like Dave is showing above.

Sorry, guess I should have looked to see what year his truck was

Does this go straight into the VP??? I have an airdog on the truck, so that T would be great because that is what I have on there now!! Easy install!!!

Yes, it will work with your existing parts. We ship these with all of our kits packaged in house.
