Default Fuel Pressure Gauge Issue

I installed autometer boost,pyro,and fuel gauge. I also installed tork tech snubber overflow valve. Im running 3/16 braided line. My fuel gauge needle is still vibrating like crazy and not reading properly. Any idea?

Put a needle valve in the line, close it all the way. Start truck and open the valve till gauge moves. Shouldn't take much to get the gauge to move.

The overflow valve won't act as the snubber, I like tork's stuff but an OFV and snubber built into one would be impossible they do sell snubbers... But a needle valve is almost ideal, certain things need to be figured into snubber effectiveness. One snubber may not steady your needle as well as another, a needle valve can be adjusted and tailored to your liking.

I retract the Impossible statement, it'd just be a little bulky and probably wouldn't fit where the OFV has to fit

Tork teck technology web site clams if you install there product you don't need a needle valve. I guess ill install a needle valve. the gauges makes alot of noise. Thanks for the info

Did you mean you ordered an OFV AND snubber? I was saying they aren't the same thing and can't expect to steady your gauge.
