Anyone have a fuel psi gauge on your fuel filter? is it safe to run with it on all the time? also, where would i get one?

 

i got a B&M gauge on my filter. you wont have any problems with it. i got mine used for 20 bux.

 

You can get them at Summit for $29.95.

Hey Malice or anyone, I am about to install mine and I have a question. How tight should I screw the 90 degree fitting and the guage in? It says 14 ft/lbs or something, but how the hell do I know how much that is? I can't put a torque wrench on it. It seemed that when i did a test fit that there was a lot of thread still to go and it was pretty tight.

 

thx, do i just take out the bolt on top and pop it in? i knowi need to take off the gas cap. What else is there to do before installing?

 

Ya take the fuel cap off and you can run your car and pull the fuse for the fuel pump. That will completely relieve the pressure. When you take the bolt off do it slowly and have a rag wrapped around it because some fuel will come out. Obviously, make sure the car is cool.

 

so i must run my car after pulling the fuel fuse to drain all pressure? what about drying out the gas lines...that possible?

 

On the directions it says to just pull the gas cap off, but in my manual it says to let it run dry. Probably won't matter, just a little more fuel will come out of the filter if you just pull the cap. I don't think the lines will dry out if it is in the manual. It won't take long to put the guage on so it shouldn't be a problem. When are you putting yours on? I'm doing mine tomorrow.

 

i just took the cap off and the un tighten the bolt which relieved the pressure.
also be careful with the little washer thats under the banjo nut when putting the fuel gauge on. u need it to put it back together and to prevent leaks

 

 

thanks teken

 

Be careful, I snapped the threads off that 90 degree fitting while trying to get it on, because the threads weren't going in far enough. I probably should have read the part about 14 ft-lbs of torque first. I tapped the threads out again, and installed it with less muscle and it works great, no leaks!
