Billet fuel cap

Jeremyleggett07 · Mar 26, 2012

Just ordered a billet fuel cap, what is needed to add a Fuel pressure gauge to it since its already tapped?

Thread your sensor in. All the caps I've seen are 1/8 npt which is what 99% of pressure sensors are.

Was lookin at some gauge on eBay...does it matter?

Just make sure the sensor is the same thread pitch as your cap. They both should be 1/8 npt.

No problem man. The other option is to get a metric (12x1.5 o ring iirc) to 1/8 npt and use the test port on the regulator housing.

Is it better to have a liquid filled gauge? I know the reading is a little off with them as the temps change under the hood

i prefer electronic gauges especially with fuel and oil. do you really want a fuel line running into your cab to a gauge?

I went with a glowshift for mine since it was simple and cheap and just wanted to know what my pressure is. Gauge runs about 65 iirc

I have a prosport and like it. It's also electronic. Some people will say you should get this and its not a bad idea http://shop.strictlydiesel.com/store.php/products/60L_FP_Adapter helps with not having a problem with the vibrations of the motor. I dont have it and havnt had a problem for over a year.

Well I ordered a gauge for under the hood but I did find the glow shift gauge for about $75. But just no mount.

Your not going to want an under the hood one. You need to be able to see what your at, at wop. Get one for in the cab. I thought I read a while back edge was making an attachment for the insight and cts?
