I just wanted to make sure that my fuel pressure gauge installation is okay in the pic below. What kinda got me concerned is the way the fitting sticks out and also is it okay that I put teflon tape on the threads just one time around it?




Just wanted to make sure from someone with experience in this kinda installation before I took her out. Thanks Guys!

 

So far no leaks - I assume its okay?

 

no leaks=your good I believe it's a 1/8 npt thread meaning it's tapered so as long as it's in there snug it shouldn't leak

You have one too many crush washers on one side of the banjo, and maybe one too few crush washers on the bottom of the banjo.

hollyshit i didnt notcie that.yea man that banjo bolt will leak u need to take one of them washers out and put it under the fitting.

 

I still don't notice it. Where do you see two washers? I only see one washer on the top. And I'm finding it too hard to tell if there is one on the bottom or not......

 

look above the banjo fitting where he got his gauge hooked up theres 2 copper crush washer there and only supoose to be one.

 

I only see one......must be my bad eyes...

oh well..... To the op. If it hasn't started leaking it is probably good to go. FYI no tape is required on NTP threads and make sure that you have 1 crush washer on the top and bottom of the banjo.

 

LOL, your eyes must be really good man - you're right there is one on the top and one on the bottom, just as the B&M gauge specified. I must add that the washer that came with the B&M gauge is kinda thick and thats the one that is on top of the banjo bolt. I guess because of the way the edge around the washer looks, it appears like there is two of them haha - Thanks guys for the concern though - I appreciate it very much
