Can someone tell me where to add a fuel gauge and line to monitor pressure? It's a 06 LBZ. I've looked around under the hood and have no idea where to cut it in for easy access. Thanks!

After the fuel filter there is a 3/8 line that comes out of the filter housing, tee in there...

Thanks that what Henry told me to do and I had a brain f**t. I couldn't remember where he said. I looked and looked today and couldn't figure it out. You let my brain pass gas and now I remember.Thanks!

Do the 06s not have the bleader in the housing anymore?

Yes there is a bleeder for when I change the filter. The screw that lets the air out when you prime it. Is that what your referring to?

Thats the one......If you refil the filter prior to installing the new one you wont have a problem. Ive had mine installed there for a long time and never encountered a problem so far. Ive even ran it out of fuel...............Twice:o:

Here is what I used. You could add a "T" and use the bleader part if you want for filter changes. With lift pumps and pre-filling filters its not needed IMO. Easier than mollesting the fuel lines to achieve the same thing.

I used the hose that went to the test port (by the alternator.) Guy Tripp recommended this and it worked great. Save the 20$
