Nope and I highly recommend that you don't get one. Give Rod at Wildcat Diesel or Merrick at Laredo Performance Diesel a call and they can hook you up with everything you need and nothing you don't.

I have been running an Isspro mechanical without an isolator for several years with no problems. However, I Do carry tools to fix any leaks that may occur. You could probably just install a needle valve under the hood to shut off the fuel supply to the gauge if there were a problem.

I run ISSPRO with a needle valve. No isolator. If it springs a leak, I can turn the needle valve shut till I can get it fixed.
It's not going to leak though. ISSPRO is good stuff and I used a bulletproof line and fittings to do the connections with.

It was discovered with the Isspro gauge that if you run direct to it with your fuel line it will get a rattle to it. The simplest way to fix this is to install a small ball valve inline to cut the flow down to the gauge. Just keep opening the valve until you reach your normal FP at idle.

This one is actually better Dr.
It's 1/8", the size most often used for automotive gauges and lines, no reducers needed. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/pro...835462&ccitem=

Shovelhead,
Is that 1/4 S.S.? Do you happen to remember the length? Ive been looking for some reasonably priced S.S. braid but cant find any....Ill probably have to call Rod.
Thanks.
PS, Bill I just closed my eyes and picked a needle valve from the Grainger page

the only problem with not having a isolator and rigging up a needle valve ball valve if you spring a leak in your cab while bombing down the freeway at 70 mph how long is it gonna take to shut down your engine safely diesel leaking from behind an a-pillar or all over your carpet makes a pretty undesirable mess not to mention the smell
