Fuel pressure gauge
 
I just got a FASS stock replacement pump and I'm going to install a Isspro pressure gauge to go along with it. Should I tap into the fuel line between the lift pump and stock filter housing or between the filter housing and the inj pump?

My personal opinion is to get the reading as close to the IP as possible. If you have it before the filter, You'll only get that reading. What if your filter is clogged you could have 15psi on the guage but only have 5psi at the IP.

I recommend this setup....

Can I use one of the bleeder ports on top of the filther housing?

Not sure, my 12V doesn't have them. Isspro makes a tapped banjo bolt for the fuel line out though.

I think the front one it's on IP side The banjo bolt is right on the jector pump that's the preferred spot

Did it come with all new fuel line? If so you may wanna look into this nice little adapter, I run one and it works great with my AD and FP gauge.

RUSSELL FUEL PRESSURE TAKE OFF (1/8" NPT side port)
