FP Isolator

[zukgod1]

So I removed my Autometer FP gauge some time ago, it was a POS. Ok maybe it was the FASS pushing it past the 15psi ?
Anywho. I was thinking of using the Isolator from that set up on my current Diprocol gauge.

Any reason this wont work?
I think it does say on the isolator 15 psi max cant remember at the moment.

I may have fun trying to adapt 1/8" flare to 1/8" compression and 1/8" flare to 1/8" pipe.

I was going to install a needle valve but finding a 1/8" needle valve seems to be a pain in the a$$, I can fing 1/4" all day long.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Use the 1/4, a needle valve is a needle valve.

OTOH, going from flare to compression fittings is no big deal, most part houses will have those pieces.

The problem with 1/4" is the line I have is 1/8" compression.
See my delima?

That's right, bow down before the God of "make it work" LOL LOL

Seriously though, you have 1/8 comp fittings on the end of your gauge line, use a 1/8 MPT x 1/8 MCP fitting into a 1/4 x 1/8 bushing into your 1/4 needle valve. That takes care of the output side, I have no idea what the input setup is like so I can't offer you to much advice there.

Got it, ran to EVCO durring lunch and picked up a 1/4" needle valve and bushings to go to 1/8" compression.

All fixed up now.

Simple, weren't it??? :D

That sure is allot nicer, no more fuel pressure buzzing.

Now if I could just find that damn squeek. Sounds like sheet metal rubbing on sheet metal but I cant find it to save me life.

Check where the lower part of the front fender attaches to the cab, there is a small tab there that can break and cause a rubbing sound. Did on mine until the pieces wore themselves some seperation.

I will certinally check there however, I cut all that chi off when I first installed the 38's. after the extra 3" I wouldnt have needed to do so. I wouldn't doubt for a second it could be comming from that area though.

Thankyou :thankyou2: thankyou:thankyou2:

I'll be ripping into the suspension this weekend also do grease the livving crap out of the bushings even though it sounds like sheet metal.

Bushings have a squeak all their own, best of luck on chasing the raped mouse down LOL LOL
