Another brand new 6.5 product. FUEL LINE FITTINGS

[Burning oil]

This is something I did today. I took Tdoc's advise and made the LP line a striaght run. To do that what I did was to make a bracket and mount the new filter and LP to it. I will need to drill one hole in the frame for the new bracket the other hole will mount under the existing LP bolt (top bolt).
The barb on the right of filter is the inlet (in this set up) and will attach to the line from the tank via one of the LP Bypass Fittings.
The top barb on the new LP is now a striaght run and will connect to the line going to engine via the other fitting in the bypass kit.

I take it that the above pictured will soon be a new kit?

No, I just wanted to show what I was doing. Maybe give an idea that helps someone.

I would consider buying 2 sensors and 1 gauge. One for fuel pressure and one for boost. I'd just install a switch to toggle between the sensors.

I have a Stewart Warner 0-15 PSI electric fuel pressure gauge (not yet installed). An extra sender costs about $35. Autometer also makes an electric 0-15 psi gauge, but they're usually more expensive.

Looks like another great idea!

My walbro is still on the shelf.
Was a bit lazy.
I bet when I'll be back from vacation, it will be time toput it on ...

Just a quick update

Just wanted to show the guages in my brothers truck. I am going to be ordering the same gauges tomorrow. If anyone else is wants a set let me know ASAP. These will be 0-15 PSI electric gauges. Also, he put the little lable that says boost psi over the word "fuel" on one of them. They are stewart Warner and will be $95.

My nifty spiffy OPS hose arrived today. I'm gonna put it on tomorrow, weather permitting.

Any update?

Thank you for posting pics of the gauge. I was hoping it would be a 270 degree style. (to match my other gauges) Jamierayo mentioned that AutoMeter has one as well. I'll have to check it out this weekend.

The Auto meter is around $230ish if you get a model # I can see what I can get them for. Thw SW was the best price I/we have found. They have been working great for a year so far.
I was tring to get as much as I could on this order to save shipping costs.
If anyone does want a gauge LMK.

I searched high and low for fittings like that some time back and came up with nothing. I'm glad to see you're having them made!
