Default FUEL FILTER/FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE BANJO BOLT ADAPTER SOLUTION

If you're trying to adapt a generic fuel pressure gauge to your fuel filter i've found the banjo bolt that will allow you to do this with ease.

It's a RUSSELL M12 x 1.25 banjo bolt with 1/8 NPT female port. (Part # 640700)

The B&M units already come with a brass fitting adapter but I was using a generic gauge with a 1/8 NPT Male end. I didn't want to tee it into the fuel line or drill and tap it into the fuel rail. So I found this banjo bolt at Performance Improvements for $15 cdn and it works exactly the same way as the brass fitting supplied in the B&M kit.

If you want the gauge to sit higher, then you can source a bunch of regular adapters from any hardware store to do this. The way I did it was first the Russell banjo bolt screwed into the fuel filter. I then screwed in an adapter that had a 1/8 npt male end with 1/4 npt female port with the male end going into the banjo bolt. After that I attached a 1/4 npt male end with 1/8 npt female port into the previous adapter. Finally I attached my guage with 1/8 male end into the female port. I used liquid teflon on the threads and snugged everything down tight.
