Moving fuel filter
Hey guy's, I am getting ready to start my direct port nitrous setup but want to do a few things first to clean up the engin bay a little bit
I would like to get rid of the fuel filter that is mounted on the fire wall and do an inline fuel filter, I assume since it is just rubber line going to the fuel filter from the pump I could just use a aeromotive or jeg's or one of the hundreds of other inline fuel filters and mount it underneath the car in a safe place right??
Also right now I have a fuel pressure gauge that the previous owner mounted on top of the fuel filter that I would like to keep, Can I just move the gauge closer to the rail with something like a T fitting right at the fuel rail OR should I tap the rail??
Actually now that I think about it there is already an aftermarket fuel rail on the car and at the end of it is a screw on cap to release pressure from the system should I need to work on it, Can I just get a fitting to go on the end of that and mount the gauge there or will I not get a proper reading since it will be at the end of the rail furthest away from where the fuel comes in???
What do you guy's do when you install a fuel pressure gauge inside the car,"IE" where do you mount the sender???
Any help is appreciated
Thanks guy's

Can someone just let me know if my thinking is correct with just doing an inline fuel filter along with the associated steel braided line and A/N fittings??
Yes you can use an inline filter.
Yes, get a fitting for the fuel rail and install the FPG on the rail.
Where a sending unit, [or FPG] is mounted depends on what FP you want to read, fuel pump pressure, or fuel rail pressure, [before or after FPR] . 94

I would think that fuel rail pressure would be more benneficial to monitor that pressure right at the pump right?
