Troublezilla - Sooner or later you will have a problem. Gauges work well with needle valve shut down 98%.This ought to tell you something. No restriction is a lot harder on th gauge than necessary. Why take the chance?

Anyone have a quick pic of their setup? I prefer a setup that takes the lead from the Schrader on the VP44 thru the needle and into the cab. Anyone have something like that they could post a pic of? I have an 01 so my filter canister does not have tapping bolts on the lid. I use the VP44 schrader for my current electric setup (via a grease gun hose to the sender).

I'd like to see the needle valve and its location in the line.

Thanks Evil... I just happened to find those not less than 5 minutes ago. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Moose10!

I've only been running the Isspro 0-30psi gauge since November, but no problems so far.
My setup is a little different now since the FASSII....no more banjo bolts, but I'm still using the needle valve off a tapped 90* elbow in the -6an line from the filter housing to the VP44.

 

I never could find the needle valve.

or NAPA

 

Grainger part #'s = 6mn31...or 6mm61 usually work. Made by GEIB...either is under $4.00!

NAPA is where I got the brass fittings, needle valve, and hose in the pics. They should have loose parts bins where you'll find that stuff.

 

once again, great pics Moose10.....

 

I went back and checked their site and you are right, nothing on there. I don't recall if I found it on their site, or just called and asked. Give them a call and see if they have it.

My gauge is like the other s mentioned, 0-30 psi. I have no issolator, just hooked it up with a needle valve and quarter inch hose. I got everything in a kit (gauge, fittings sans needle valve, and a single gauge pod) from WTD except the needle valve I picked up at NAPA.

I have had mine since December.

 

Sixteen months on my EV. I had a minute fuel leak behind the gauge that caused the needle to pulsate a little. I tightened everything and added a tie wrap to the hose. No more problems.

The needle valve is also a "safety valve". If the gage should ever develop a leak, you can quickly and easily turn it off.

 

That Grainger valve has pipe thread on one end and compression like a hydralic line on the other. My hose has 1/4" compression fitting.

 

6mn31 thats 1/8" and 1/8" thats what I need!!

 

Granger has the needle valve in any configuration you want. Male x female, MxM, FxF, compression and 90 degree.
