Tapping into fuel filter

I am getting ready to install fuel pressure gauge. Where do I tap into the fuel filter housing? ??? I have a '99 24v.

Re:Tapping into fuel filter

On top of your filter housing, there are two test ports. Use the inboard port (1/8" npt threads) which will give you a post-filter reading. It's really quite easy on our 99's. It's the port that is closest to the center, and I believe that it is the forward-most port, also. If you are still confused, e-mail me and I will take a digital pic of my installation and e-mail it to you.<br><br>DeWain

Here is where I get my fuel pressure reading from this port on my 99'. I use the BrairHopper test gauge setup
Dewain is right use the forward port closest to the front of the truck.

Thanks Cattle Hauler. Just what I needed. Did you use the tape or liquid sealer?
