Fuel filter vacuum sensor

So I got a good little drip coming from this little guy, from other threads I've read it can just be plug...? 1/8"... Npt or not? Is all that sensor does cue the filter light when the filter is Plug or you are starving for fuel? If so all I need to do is keep up on filter change right... Any check engine light or anything else occur when you unplug and plug that guy?

1/8" NPT plug will do the trick.

No CEL when you unplug it. Like Rick said be careful or you will crack the FPR

What is the fpr housing made out of? I'm worried to overtighten I got a black iron npt plug in there now seems Pretty tight but I'm using a 4" wrench so tough for me to judge how tight it really is.. I guess I am going to slowly go till I see no more leak or find out just how expensive the fpr is...lol..

I also picked up a brass one.. Tried it first seemed to leak pretty bad so I tried the black iron... Maybe I'll try the brass again.... This should be easy... Simple npt thread.. Should stop the leak before any breakage... I guess I'll go back to brass and just slowly go at it till it stops..
Thanks
