Fuel bowl test port size

I am sure it is covered on here hundreds of times, but what size fitting does it take to hook up a fuel pressure testing gauge to the test port on the fuel bowl? I don't plan on installing a full time gauge just yet, just something to use to check the health of my system.

It's #4 ORB(ORing Boss) most hook it up with an #4 ORB to 1/8" NPT if you have a hydraulic shop near you, they should have what you need, if not Clay has them

Awesome! Thanks. Maybe I will just go ahead and install a in-cab unit and be done with it. Those fittings will certainly make it easy enough.

It's the same as the plug on top of the hpop res. I don't remember where I got mine but it was local . Hardware store or the Depot or the Low store.

Good to hear, It's one of the best gauges to have in my opinion.
