Taping into fuel?

Taping into fuel?
Ok, so i found a mechanical gauge on Geno's that comes with an isolator (SSPRO R5607R Fuel Pressure Gauge (0-60 PSI)-Geno's Garage)
Question, should I run a T fitting on the supply line (between the lift pump and vp44) or run a banjo bolt on the test port (return line?) with a snubber? Im assuming the isolator with help with pulses regardless of where i'm taping the fuel from?

no the isolator will NOT help with pulses. you need a needle valve or snubber regardless.
the isolator is just an overpriced piece of garbage that will go bad in a few years and make you freak out thinking your lift pump is going out because the isolator will start to leak on the anti-freeze side.
run a tapped banjo bolt to the output side of the fuel filter. That's where I ran mine until I got a 150GPH fuel system that completely bypasses the stock fuel filter. now I run it straight to the fuel systems gauge port on the output side of the filter base.

yes, that is the airbrake line.. rated forover 150psi so the sub 30 psi we run is never getting though that line
Nylon air brake tubing 1/8 x100ft, 1922-01-1, Tectran - Ryder Fleet Products
$16 for 100ft of it there :doh:
little excess when you only need 6' of it..
might check local auto parts stores around you. usually something they have behind the counter...
