I'll try one more time....anyone install a fuel pressure gauge on a 600 yet??

I'll probably just add it to my custom fuel system plumbing whenever I get around to it.

Wouldn't you just need the normal tapped banjo bolt you would buy for every other system?

Genos did not seem to know if it would fit.....they just tried to sell me there fancy billet fuel filter cap that has a hole tapped in it.

I may just tap the factory filter cap if need be

I also want to add a fuel pressure gauge but if you use the top of the filter you will be reading pre filter pressure. I want to know how my filter is doing. Post filter pressure will let me know if the filter is dirty or not. I asked Geno's if they had anything to get me post filter and they said no. What are you guys doing to get post filter?

Use a tapped banjo at the bottom of the fuel filter. This will give you the post filter pressure readings.

Rod @ Wildcat Diesel

Actually, I think Geno's and Wildcat both sell this as an individual item.

The tapped banjo will work just fine on the 600. And yes you do need fuel pressure on the 600. Its every bit as important as it was on the VP44 equipped trucks.

We're no longer selling banjo bolts here, so you'll want to contact Geno's for banjo bolt pricing.

Sorry, no pics, but it simply screws into the bottom of the fuel filter canister.
