What Fitting Do I Need For FASS to EDGE Fuel Pressure

I just got a FASS and my fuel pressure sender does on the edge does not hook up to the fass pressure point. What size adapter do I need to hook these two together?

I dont know what the sender on the Edge is like but you should be able to use one of these:

It really depends how you install the FASS...you could install it at the VP-44 inlet.

Thanks Evil, I need one too. EverydayDiesel, don't use the last one, use the middle one. The last one will not provide a ground for the sensor!!! I already ran into this problem...

I dont think the last one will work anyways since I have 3/8 hose on my fass. That fitting on the vulcan website is for a 1/2 hose. Im going to go into town and see what I can find. I may have to drill/tap my own hole which is not a big deal

You should have said that - they have them for 3/8" too.

I am not an expert but it looks like to put a T you would have to cut the plumbing (I got mine from Vulcan and it came with all of the plumbing and hardware). I think you could cut it anywhere... maybe up by the fire wall and then get a brass T tapped w/ the right size... I will keep looking if you keep looking hopefully we can find something.
I agree though with as much as we just spent for the FASS you think they would through in something like an adapter.

Just tap into the VP inlet with a tapped banjo bolt, a 1/8 NPT elbow, and a needle valve like the good doctor recommended. That way you get the pressure at the pump. It will tell you if your filter is getting plugged in this location.

I had to rig my own up too, by going to the local hydrolic shop to get fitting. I put in a T right at the Injector pump with one side connected to the fass fuel line and the other going to the fuel pressure sensor that came with my attitude monitor. I could post some pics if anyone wants them, just send me a pm. Not sure what exact size fittings i used since it took three tries of course i took everything apart then had to put it back together each time.haha
