I'd just get a T in the line wherever you want to put it,somewhere out of the way,I did not bother to use a isolator,just make sure the dang thing don't leak cause' it takes forever to get the stink out of your cab....
The line to the FP gauge should be pretty small,I mashed mine a little so the vibration from the VP would not hurt it,though I'm not sure that is strictly necessary.
I just ordered one of these to T in with Glacier Diesel Power - Product Detail

But you could use anything like that you wanted,make one up from the hardware store with a Female T and a couple of barbs if you want.

there is a plug you remove and take your readings from that port. I ran a line to a snubber and a mechanical gauge and tee to a digital fuel pr. guage Ed

I would have to go under the vehicle and check but I believe I removed
an allen head plug in the aluminum block of the airdog. Let me know if
you find it if not I will go under the truck and check it out. Last
resort I would call Charles the owner of air dog at 573 2308838. let
me know and I will help you out

I guess I should have seen he had an airdog and no fuel filter canister..
Biged there is a picture in your install manual,it's where the warning light pressure sender can be installed
