Default DiPricol gauge

I need some help installing a fuel gauge I just got one and I am installing it on the pillar of my 2000 dodge ram 2500 4X4 5 spd . When I order it they also sold me on a isolator, banjo bolt, and it also came with some other hoses.Thank you guys!

(D'Oh!) My bad...



I kept my stock filter and use a Vulcan Big Line kit previous so I have the line between the VP44 and the Stock filter setup already with Push-Loc Tee and place to tap the fuel line. So the new ones have the tap in the elbows. Now the electric sensor is my low pressure switch.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

I just test drove the truck and the gauge its reading 13 psi its that normal also when ever the truck is on a stop the psi seems to go up to 14 psi .I have also installed a new vp44 injection pump from blue chip.

Yeah sounds about right for stock fuel system... Now look at WOT (at highway speed) and Idle pressure...

Normal Range is 10 PSI to 20 PSI... Anything under 10 PSI is asking for VP44 pump damage...
