Simple fuel pressure gauge installation questions

I bought a Plews 18" grease hose to connect between the fuel filter cannister and the fuel pressure isolater. The hose is rated at 3000 P.S.I. so I assume this will be ok to use? They had a heavy duty hose rated at 4500 P.S.I. but it was only 12" long and I wanted the extra length. (who doesn't want a couple of extra inches... ) I digress......

Also, should I apply any type of thread sealer to the banjo bolt or grease hose fittings?

The banjo should have a factory washer with rubber coating on it.

I used liquid teflon, people recommend against using regular teflon tape.

I think the 3000 psi hose should be fine, only overkill by about 2980 psi.

Thanks P.J. I figured I was ok but just wanted to double-check.

Thought I had everything but just noticed that I am missing a fitting. My grease gun hose has two male ends but the pressure sender is a male end also. Look's like I need a connection with two female ends with 1/8" NPT threads. Is brass what I should use?
