WHAT IS IT?? It is called the a FUEL PRESSURE TAP (FPT) and it provides a very simple way to hook up your fuel pressure gauge.

You just remove the plastic factory air bleed ontop of the filter then replace it with the FPT. Takes two minutes.(hand tighten). To bleed air from the filter just losen the FPT (like you did before with the old plastic bleeder) until air escapes and fuel comes out, retighten and you are done.

If you would like, you can also plumb in a tee and a valve to direct the fuel into a container (while bleeding the filter) instead of it making a mess on your engine and down into the engine valley.

The picture shows an electrical gauge sensor, but you can also run a mecanical gauge/hose.

After it's installed just run the hose or wire from it to your gauge and you are done.

This is a brand new product on the market specially machined for the 6.5 turbo diesel.

We are the only manufacture of this item.

Takes minutes to install.

It is made of stainless steel.

You will use the hose kit or sender unit that comes with your gauge.

The FPT comes with 1/8" female pipe threads ontop.

You are buying the FPT ONLY. The brass 1/8" x hose fitting for the hose connection or sender unit comes with your gauge's.

Mechanical guage set up. Other end of hose connects to gauge.

It is between about 70 to 80 degrees F. But, it lately has rained every day. We just finished up our German/American Fest. It was fun but, working 15 - 18 hours days 7 straight sux! ):h

I will be in Texas soon, I will start ordering from you when I get back to the real world! :thumbsup:

Today it is something like 108f (heat index) degrees here and about 95% humidity. Can you pump over some of that cool air :cool:
