Getting ready to purchase a fuel pressure gauge from Genos, wondering what i need to go along with the gauge. I am going to buy the Di Pricol gauge. Do i need tapped banjo bolts, i know Genos sells them, i also see that they sell a billet cap to go on the fuel filter, would that be a better way to go rather then the banjo bolts? Thanks for the help

i got the tapped banjo with the banjo bolt kit, worked fine for me

I notice that Genos has a variety of Banjo bolt kits, which kit should i kit if i was to go that route?

All you need is the single one to replace the stock banjo under your filter housing. Get a couple new seals and the bolt $10......

You also will need a needle valve...



Here is a explode view of the parts I'd used in my setup... NO Isolator in mine...

Is the isolator nessasary? Or can you just run tubing like the pic above from your banjo bolt to the guage?

just install it like the pic above and close the needle vavle off then open it just enough to were the gauge works . cause if you open it to much you will get a rattling sound . and over time the pulse can kill the gauge . i been running mine with a set up alot like this for over a year now with no issues . you will want the needle valve to dampen the pulse that the vp44 puts out.

I ran my line right to my cheap little guage and it is going coo coo sometimes could this be from air in the line too?

Roadrunner,
Did you install a needle valve in your setup? My experience with air in the line is better... It softness the pulses to the gauge and you can open the needle valve a bit more...
