Preference where to hook F/P gauge to
Sorry if theses seems redundent, but I am new to posting and search the threads. 
I bought a Dipricol F/P gauge, tapped banjo bolt. I built a -4 Aeroquip marine rated fuel hose for the run. Where do you guys prefer to read from, the bottom of F/O fiter/seperator or inlet at the inj. pump. Currently I am going to go from the inlet line to the inj. pump. Let me know. thanks. stephen

Which tapped banjo do you have? If I remember correctly, the inlet to the injection pump requires a shorter bolt than the others in the system. If you try to use a regular length bolt, it will bottom out before the washers seal up.
But when I had my banjos, that is where I picked up my pressure reading. Now with the bigger lines, I pick it up on the fuel filter outlet.

Ok...
I'm under the Fuel filter... But works just as good... Using a isolating needle valve.
And the guage pod...
So far it's showing true and no problems.

well I purchased -4 aeroquip, made the line myself, haven't had a line leak yet that I have made using aeroquip, pretty reliable stuff. Crazy maybe having fuel in cab, heck I think if it did leak it would be a nice air freshener.. 
I wish someone would market that scent, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Motorpool, I bought mine from Wildcat Diesel before they closed for good. Genos garage is a good source of a FP guage.
Guage is an Isspro EV (Enhanced Visibility) series guage, mechanical pressure guage 0-30 psi.
You need a tapped banjo as well to get a reading, plus a needle valve to dampen the pressure pulses from the VP44. The pressure pulses cause the FP guage to "rattle" and be annoying.

have you thought about some like my father has his? easy to see, out of the way, and out of the cab
