installing FP Gauge

[Holden]

If you're looking for the banjo-bolt with a 1/8NPT socket on top that replaces the existing banjo-bolt on top of the filter, the only place you'll find it is with the $30 B&M filter-top fuel pressure gauge kit.

I looked for this too. Also, B&M doesn't sell just the bolt.

i am installing a fuel pressure gauge in my civic soon. i need to ind the angle adapter that fits on the top of the fuel filter that allows enough spce for the sender. anyone know off hand which adapter i need? thanks.

The sending unit of an Autometer gauge has a 1/8 NPT (National Pipe Thread) size male fitting... you can get a male to female 90' just about anywhere. One is included in the B+M Fuel Pressure gauge, which I recommend having anyway, so you will need a "T" with one male and two female 1/8 NPT fittings. Look back a month or so and find the thread by "Lundgren" about fuel gauges... there is a picture of my install there.

SO with the B&M banjo bolt we could install the fp sender unit on top of the fuel filter and not have to tap into the fuel line? I was looking for a way to do this because I'm hesitant to cut into the fuel line.

JRCivic, what size is the tee that you got in order to use both the B&M gauge and the autometer gauge? Where can i get it and how much is it going to cost? Thanks.

This is the B&M gauge, tee, and sender.

Here its mounted on the fuel filter


Here's the $90 short sweep autometer fuel gauge, which comes with the sender shown above.

gsr355: It's all 1/8 NPT

Zip, or anyone else who knows, I can't seem to find the tee that you used in order to be able to use both the autometer and b&m gauges. Where did you get it, if you still have the manufacture and their part number, can you please give it to me? Does summit have it, if they do, i'll just order it from them. Does anyone have the part number? Thanks.

The tee, and all the other hardware EXCEPT the banjo bolt, are all just standard 1/8 NPT fittings that you can get at your local hardware/auto store.

The banjo bolt only comes with the B&M gauge.

Hey GSR355, you live in San Francisco right? To get those 1/8" couplers go to Gotelli's Speed Shop in South San Francisco, its near Tanforan Mall (across from the See's factory) along El Camino.
